Emma's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Berlin
After a house fire, Emma has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,200.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany856 views
After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Berlin cost $85 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $990
• Psychiatric assessment: $180
• Workbook and resources: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Take care
Thinking of you, Emma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Emma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted
Good luck, Emma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. All the best
