Yong-jun's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Gwangju
Yong-jun is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After the loss of my brother, Yong-jun 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 Gwangju Counselling Collective cost $50 each.
Yong-jun 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 Yong-jun could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Yong-jun, 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 $900 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $730
• Psychiatric assessment: $145
• Workbook and resources: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yong-jun?
Thank you. If you're in Gwangju I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Keep going, Young-ho. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Toledo.
So sorry you're going through this, Young-ho. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
praying for you, Young-ho. Shared this with my family. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
