Nicholas's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Townsville
A course of EMDR therapy for Nicholas could change everything; the cost is $2,550.
🇦🇺 Townsville, Queensland, Australia2,519 views
After a long hospital stay, 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 Townsville Wellbeing Centre 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 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 $2,550 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $2,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $310
• Workbook and resources: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
