After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Jakarta Counselling Collective cost $20 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $400 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $310
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Bambang. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Jakarta.
