Idowu's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Lagos
After the miscarriage, Idowu has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $350.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,824 views
After the miscarriage, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Lagos Counselling Collective 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 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 $350 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $320
• Psychiatric assessment: $25
• Workbook and resources: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Idowu. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from San Fernando.
