Beyond Trauma A Client’s Story

Geplaatst op: 24-05-2008

Case studies always have anonymity and often don't indicate the severity of each client's problem. This one was so debilitating and the path to healing so profound that it is told in the client's own words as given to me.

"I first remember feeling faint at hospital when I was 5 years old and sitting opposite a man with his fingers chopped off. I kept looking at his bleeding hand and his face that was screwed up with pain. The actual fainting first started when I was at school and friends talked about their injuries. When I started to date boys I went to the cinema and on one occasion a rape scene came on. I tried to desperately dash out, but collapsed on the foyer floor. I fainted if anyone gave birth on TV or if I read about birth in a book, or even if I had to stand in a queue near a pregnant woman. The fainting would be horrible coming without much warning. When I received notice to have a cervical smear I went dizzy. I couldn't visit anyone in a hospital and would faint before I got in the doorway. If I heard of anyone having an abortion I would faint just thinking about it.

My life became emptier as there was almost nothing left that I was able to do. Emotionally it was like being paralysed..... .
