Javier's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Puebla
A course of trauma-focused CBT for Javier could change everything; the cost is $750.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,608 views
After military deployment, Javier has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Puebla cost $25 each.
Javier 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 Javier could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Javier, 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 $750 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $630
• Psychiatric assessment: $80
• Workbook and resources: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
