Therapy fund for Paulo: 24 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of EMDR therapy for Paulo could change everything; the cost is $800.
🇧🇷 Brazil2,549 views
After military deployment, Paulo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the São Paulo Counselling Collective cost $35 each.
Paulo has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Paulo could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Paulo, and we're 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 $800 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $680
• Psychiatric assessment: $85
• Workbook and resources: $35

Hang in there, Giovana. Get well soon. All the best
hope it all works out, Giovana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles.
Hang in there, Giovana. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of São Paulo.
