After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Swansea Counselling Collective cost $70 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 16 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $2,250 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,950 • Psychiatric assessment: $240 • Workbook and resources: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Asher GillQuestion

    is 16 therapy sessions the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Caleb H. YoungOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 16 therapy sessions comes first ($1,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.

  • Hope things get better soon, Caleb. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

    • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Swansea.

      • Caleb H. YoungOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 16 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.

    • Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Swansea

      • this could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Thinking of Swansea

        • Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
