Mental health support for Miles after a long hospital stay

After a long hospital stay, Miles has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,950.

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 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Auckland cost $75 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 12 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. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $1,950 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,650 • Psychiatric assessment: $270 • Workbook and resources: $30 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Miles

        rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Nsukka this morning. Take care.

          Thinking of you and your family, Miles. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
