Priya's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in East London
Priya is working through a house fire and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇿🇦 East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa1,497 views
After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in East London cost $25 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 24 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 $660 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $600
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $5
I hope life is good to you.

what exactly is the $660 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 24 therapy sessions is the biggest at $600. Good question.
Sending strength, Priya. 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. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Sending love, Priya. Hope the doctors have good news.
