Paolo's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Manila
Paolo is working through a long hospital stay and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇵🇭 Philippines958 views
After a long hospital stay, Paolo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Manila cost $20 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $265 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $230
• Psychiatric assessment: $30
• Workbook and resources: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Leo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Love from Faisalabad.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Manila.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City
