After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Cali Counselling Collective cost $20 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $800 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $660 • Psychiatric assessment: $120 • Workbook and resources: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Thinking of you and your family, José. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.

    • Hang in there, José. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
