After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Gothenburg Counselling Collective cost $95 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 20 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 $1,250 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $960 • Psychiatric assessment: $230 • Workbook and resources: $60 Thank you for reading my story.

            Praying for you, Karl. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
