After burnout at work, 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 Limerick Wellbeing Centre cost $115 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 $1,150 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $920 • Psychiatric assessment: $180 • Workbook and resources: $50 I hope life is good to you.

      Sure. The biggest one is 24 therapy sessions, $920. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

  • Praying for you, Eileen. Hope the doctors have good news.

    • Good luck, Eileen. Wishing Eileen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Patna

      • Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Mumbai.

        • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Good luck, Eileen. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
