She regularly phones her therapist in despair.
She does some household work and other days she goes to day therapy with creative therapy and Chi gong.
She had a traumatic youth. Her father was abusing her sexually since the age of 6. It was a shock for her, she felt frozen and could not move as if she was paralysed. At 18e she was raped by a friend. She could only let it happen, was totally passive. She did not go to the police. She suppressed these experiences for many years. These experience gave her the feeling of being overthrown, numb. Later in life she got flashbacks, a kind of shock state, which made her very anxious.
