Chae-won's path to healing - family counseling in Seoul
After the death of both parents, Chae-won has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,550.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea1,954 views
After the death of both parents, 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 Seoul Counselling Collective cost $55 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 10 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 $1,550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $135
• Workbook and resources: $65
With deep gratitude,
Chae-won

Good news. Because of your gifts ($425 in total) the plan for 10 therapy sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

take care, Chae-won. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Aurora but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Aurora.
Hang in there, Chae-won. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Chae-won. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
How is Chae-won doing now?
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Seoul
Rooting for you, Chae-won. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
