After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Caxias do Sul Wellbeing Centre cost $35 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: $770
• Psychiatric assessment: $115
• Workbook and resources: $15
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. Wishing Ana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
