After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Kobe Wellbeing Centre cost $95 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 $2,000 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,650
• Psychiatric assessment: $330
• Workbook and resources: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tomoko?
Thank you. If you're in Kobe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best!
Best of luck, Tomoko. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Cali this morning
Stay strong, Tomoko. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kobe.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kobe.
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
