Yvonne's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Kingston
Yvonne is working through burnout at work and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇯🇲 Kingston, Kingston, Jamaica915 views
After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Kingston cost $20 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 12 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $650 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $570
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hang in there, Yvonne. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Accra.
Hope things get better soon, Yvonne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Nice
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from The Hague.
