Toru's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Osaka
After bullying at school, Toru has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,500.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Japan626 views
After bullying at school, Toru has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Osaka Counselling Collective cost $75 each.
Toru 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 Toru 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 Toru, and we're 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 $1,500 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,150
• Psychiatric assessment: $310
• Workbook and resources: $40
I hope life is good to you.
- Daisuke

Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Daisuke. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
