A thirty-five-year-old woman is suffering from Raynaud's disease for 17 years. Her fingers and toes become very painful triggered by a cold or psychological stress. The period is from a few minutes to long-lasting pains to more often a day. Triggers can be a handle in the freezer, a swim in the lake, ride bicycles or several hours at the PC. The pain is as if the fingers or toes are clamped in a vice, she gets nauseous with this pain and the pain can be so severe that she is fainting. The fingers and toes become deaf, the winter is very problematic for her, she can almost not go out.
Seventeen years ago, her parents had separated (
Carbon series). Her mother had announced, if she and her sister had the Abitur, then she would be gone. Her mother was gone from one day to the other, the patient has then taken over the household for the rest of the family. She felt disoriented at this time, after the Abitur and the separation of the parents (carbon series). As a child, she was used as an mediator between the parents, she was the one who had to deliver the news from one parent to the other parent. (Mediator =

Magnesium).
Her father was already married when he met her mother, she was born by an affair he had with her mother. For the first three years, she grew up among the grandparents (
Magnoliidae).
Only later the parents decide to marry, their marriage was not harmonious, they have argued a lot. She has always looked after her younger sister and helped her, the sister was the most important for her. She also did it because she wanted to help her mother, because the mother has problems with herself and problems with the relationship to her father. Her childhood was never without problems.
Mother: A labile person, not a strong woman who has always defined herself by the relationship with her father. She has already comforted her mother with two years, because the mother could cry all day. The mother was like a blade of grass, a windstorm could kink her. (
Phase 2)
Father: He was present for the first time after three years, before that he was still with his other family. (
Phase 6)
She has thought her mother is not there for her and later as she just went away she felt let down. She always felt she must be strong for herself and her sister, she could not expect anything from her parents. (
Phase 6 = neglected child) She was sexually abused as a child, but she never spoke about it and has looked it away. She had told her mother and was still sent to this family. It happened when she had to lay down in the noon to sleep, she did not have to undress. It does not come out, out of her armour, she was sick for years, she had anorexia. She still has some problems left with eating.
It is difficult for her to stand up for herself in conflicts. If someone becomes loud or a dispute arises, she easily feels small. She is helpless, cannot fight back (
Phase 2) and gives up, surrender. This is a pattern from her childhood with all this disputes. (
