After a difficult divorce, Sophia has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Glasgow cost $85 each. Sophia has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Sophia could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sophia, 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 $2,250 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $2,000 • Psychiatric assessment: $240 • Workbook and resources: $10 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Nicholas

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,270 in total) the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Best of luck, Nicholas. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best

    • I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

      • hope things get better soon, Nicholas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

        • take care, Nicholas. Wishing Sophia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Berlin.

          • hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
