İbrahim's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Bornova
İbrahim is working through the death of both parents and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇹🇷 Bornova, İzmir, Türkiye1,763 views
After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Bornova Counselling Collective cost $30 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 12 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 $550 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $470
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, İbrahim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Adama

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Aberdeen
Is there anything that isn't money that would help İbrahim?
Thank you. If you're in Bornova I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
