Simona's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Bergamo
Simona is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇮🇹 Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy1,546 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Bergamo Counselling Collective cost $60 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 $900 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $600
• Psychiatric assessment: $290
• Workbook and resources: $10
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Simona. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Nairobi.
How is Simona doing now?
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Simona.
24 therapy sessions is $600 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you peace, Simona. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Swansea.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this, Simona. Wishing Simona a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Hang in there, Simona. Hope this works out for you. Love from Yogyakarta.
