Qasim's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Mecca
Qasim is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇸🇦 Mecca, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,787 views
After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Mecca Counselling Collective cost $85 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 20 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 $1,850 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,600
• Psychiatric assessment: $240
• Workbook and resources: $10
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Aberdeen
Best of luck, Qasim. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Mecca.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us!
How is Qasim doing now?
Sending love. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Faisalabad.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
