Therapy fund for Bengt: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of trauma-focused CBT for Bengt could change everything; the cost is $1,400.
🇸🇪 Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden528 views
After a house fire, 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 a private practice in Uppsala cost $65 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 10 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 $1,400 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,050
• Psychiatric assessment: $310
• Workbook and resources: $40
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Bengt
Update from Uppsala: I made the first payment toward 10 therapy sessions. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Best of luck, Bengt. This could happen to any of us.
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Katowice donated after I showed her your page. Love from Katowice.
