After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Seville Counselling Collective cost $70 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 20 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 $850 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $650 • Psychiatric assessment: $195 • Workbook and resources: $5 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Joaquín

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($276 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Seville: the plan for 20 therapy sessions is now scheduled. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
