Paolo's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Rome
Paolo is working through bullying at school and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇮🇹 Italy1,825 views
After bullying at school, Paolo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Rome Counselling Collective cost $90 each.
Paolo has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Paolo could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Paolo, and we're 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 $1,350 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $130
• Workbook and resources: $20
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Aurangabad
Thanks for sharing this, Giorgio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
