Therapy fund for Murugan: 16 sessions with a licensed counselor
Murugan is working through military deployment and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India705 views
After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Lucknow Counselling Collective cost $20 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 16 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 $350 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $270
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Murugan
Small update. $164 so far, the plan for 16 therapy sessions is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($119 in total) I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 31% funded and the plan for 16 therapy sessions is now scheduled.

Praying for you, Murugan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Kyiv but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Murugan. Wishing Murugan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
