After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Bologna cost $45 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,600
• Psychiatric assessment: $165
• Workbook and resources: $35
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Marco. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
