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 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Nijmegen cost $85 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 24 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 $2,250 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $2,000 • Psychiatric assessment: $195 • Workbook and resources: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Hope the doctors have good news. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
