Mental health support for Garfield after years of caregiving
After years of caregiving, Garfield has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $450.

After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Kingston Counselling Collective cost $40 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 16 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 $450 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $340
• Psychiatric assessment: $95
• Workbook and resources: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Garfield. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dwarka.
How is Garfield doing now?
Keep going, Garfield. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Kolkata.
Thinking of you and your family, Garfield. Hope this works out for you.
