Woman, 37, depression.
She feels not in balance and wants support. She is nervous, irritable, has palpitations, is often sleepless and broods a lot. She has tension in her neck and arms, talking to herself that she must relax, not cry now.
A right upper molar with a crown is hurting, > cold air, < warmth, warm soup.
She is reluctant to talk, shy and distrustful. Her face is pale and slightly grey, her hair is in a ponytail behind the neck and she wears old fashioned clothes, the style of conservative churches.
She feels misunderstood, had very little attention from her parents; she feels like she is on an island at home. There has not been enough trust between them to talk things over openly although she felt the want for it.
She worked hard for her parents and never earned a reasonable salary. They still blamed her for every little fault, never complimented her and criticised her all the time, asking her to leave when she did not agree. She worked as a nurse but started working for her father when his business did not flourish.
Her mother came from a rather poor family, went out working at a young age. Her mother was sick frequently, never opposing her husband. Her father split with his parents after an heritage conflict. He emigrated. Her father is taciturn, cold and turned on himself, but did and does anything for her sister and brother.
She feels guilty talking about the past and her parents.
Her husband has opened her up slowly and gently.
