Mirjam's path to healing - a structured recovery program in Rotterdam
Mirjam is working through burnout at work and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇳🇱 Netherlands1,497 views
After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Rotterdam cost $105 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 10 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 $2,100 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,650
• Psychiatric assessment: $400
• Workbook and resources: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Mirjam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Rotterdam
thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Rome.
