After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Belo Horizonte cost $25 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $650 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $480
• Psychiatric assessment: $130
• Workbook and resources: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Débora
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 20 therapy sessions comes first ($480) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
sending good thoughts, Débora. Hope this works out for you.
Rooting for you, Débora. Shared this with my family. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
So sorry you're going through this, Débora. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon, Débora. Get well soon. After 8 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thanks for sharing this, Débora. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Débora. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Thinking of you, Débora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
