Anywhere in the world1,010 views
After bullying at school, Francisca has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Ribeirão Preto cost $40 each.
Francisca has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Francisca could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Francisca, and we're 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 $550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $480
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Antônia. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Rajkot.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Francisca
It's all in the list in the story. 10 therapy sessions is the big one at $480, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
So sorry you're going through this, Antônia. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Shared this with my family. Love from Bakersfield.
stay strong, Antônia. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. Greetings from Jakarta.
