After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Chennai Wellbeing Centre cost $20 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 $465 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $420
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Moscow.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Chennai!
Thank you. If you're in Chennai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. After 29 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Hope it all works out, Joya. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from San Fernando.
what's already covered and what's the $465 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 16 therapy sessions is the biggest at $420.
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Joya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

Thinking of you and your family, Joya. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
rooting for you, Joya. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Chennai.
