Gerald's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Manila
After a violent robbery, Gerald has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $300.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines690 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Manila cost $15 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 $300 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $220
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $15
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
