Mi-sook is working through bullying at school and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea863 views
After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Seoul Wellbeing Centre cost $70 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 $2,000 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,700
• Psychiatric assessment: $290
• Workbook and resources: $10
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Love from Siliguri!
Thinking of you, Mi-sook. Wishing Mi-sook a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Mysuru so I could bring a meal. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mi-sook?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 24 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Sending strength. Wishing Mi-sook a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Seoul.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mi-sook
It's all in the list in the story. 24 therapy sessions is the big one at $1,700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Seoul.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Derry.
