🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka1,696 views
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 9 months, and private sessions at the Colombo Counselling Collective cost $10 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 $450 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $360
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $35
With deep gratitude,
Nuwan

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
