After burnout at work, Caleb has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in San Francisco cost $130 each. Caleb has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Caleb could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Caleb, 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 $1,050 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $820 • Psychiatric assessment: $180 • Workbook and resources: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Patrick

  • Louis Henri DupuyQuestion

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Caleb

    • Patrick J. MarshallOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is 24 therapy sessions, $820. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Asher K. Sandoval

    Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of San Francisco.

    • Elena A. Ramirez

      Sending strength, Patrick. This could happen to any of us.

        Wishing you peace, Patrick. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of San Francisco.

        • Naveen Malhotra

          Rooting for you, Patrick. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.

              Thinking of you and your family, Patrick. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

              • Raimundo Rodrigo Santana

                Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

                  Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Santos

                    hope it all works out, Patrick. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Phoenix donated after I showed her your page.

                      Keep going, Patrick. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                        Thinking of you, Patrick. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
