After military deployment, Carter has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Sheffield cost $65 each. Carter 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 Carter could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Carter, and we're 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 $1,355 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,150 • Psychiatric assessment: $200 • Workbook and resources: $5 With deep gratitude, Doris

    what exactly is the $1,355 for?

    • Doris N. ByrdOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. 16 therapy sessions is the big one at $1,150, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Best of luck, Doris. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Sheffield.

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Carter?

      • Doris N. ByrdOwnerAnswer

        Thank you. If you're in Sheffield I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

    • Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Atlanta.

      • Wishing you the best, Doris. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Sheffield.
