After bullying at school, 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 the Petrópolis Counselling Collective 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 16 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $500 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $390
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $40
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anderson.
Sure. The biggest one is 16 therapy sessions, $390. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Petrópolis
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Petrópolis.
Sending love, Anderson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
