Mental health support for Ayumi after the loss of my brother
A course of family counseling for Ayumi could change everything; the cost is $2,100.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan1,998 views
After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Tokyo cost $90 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 10 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 $2,100 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,950
• Psychiatric assessment: $115
• Workbook and resources: $35
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Ayumi. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
how is Ayumi doing now?
thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Khon Kaen.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ayumi?
Thank you. If you're in Tokyo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
hope it all works out, Ayumi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Ayumi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
