After the death of both parents, 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 a private practice in Amsterdam cost $105 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. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $1,700 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,300 • Psychiatric assessment: $370 • Workbook and resources: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hasan

          Best of luck, Hasan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Amsterdam.
