After burnout at work, Sawsan has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Dammam cost $70 each. Sawsan has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Sawsan could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sawsan, 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 $1,315 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,100 • Psychiatric assessment: $210 • Workbook and resources: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sara
