Elijah is working through a difficult divorce and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia1,828 views
After a difficult divorce, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Newcastle cost $130 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $950
• Psychiatric assessment: $370
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Elijah. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Bacoor.
you're not alone, Elijah. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
