Hi friends, Camara here.
I would like your help with paying for private trauma therapy with a medical and psychotherapy team that specializes in complex PTSD using Somatic therapy and other interventional techniques.
From the time I was three years old I experienced developmental trauma. Then in my early teenage years I experienced extreme sexual abuse. I ran away from my life. My mother died at that time and I was incarcerated in a reform school called Rocky Mountain Academy where they physically, emotionally and psychologically abused me. (As well as the other children there.) I was there two years before I was released to a much better boarding school where I finished high school and went on to college.
I struggled constantly with depression, anxiety andself worth issues.
When one of my children was born with a terminal illness I did my very best to fight for her and give her the best life possible. I succeeded in that.
After she died I crashed into a deep well of grief and despair and began seeing a therapist regularly that has really helped me come a long way in the past five years. However, I still suffer from nightmares and insomnia related to C-PTSD. I still have debilitating panic attacks on occasion.
This specialized therapy that I have been invited to partake in has incredible results, I've already had a session and it did more for me in several hours, than anything has done for me in twenty years.
This specialized private therapy is NOT Covered by MSP health insurance. And I have to take time off work to attend - which is the most expensive part.
You're my friend so I'm asking for your help. I work full time, I provide for my family and I just spent every last cent I had in savings helping to secure a new home for my family because we have to move.
I need this therapy and I have to do it for myself even if I go into debt to do it. But I thought I would reach out to see if you would consider pitching in for me, as I would do for you. Life doesn't have to be such a struggle when we are there for each other.
Thank you for reading my birthday wish!
With love and humility,
Camara
