Curare – my family is shattering my world

Similia Vol 23 No 1 – June 2011

Author: Alicia Lee

Abstract

This case dates back to 2006 when the client presented in a state of extreme depression. Having ‘discovered’ that she had been sexually abused, she was in the process of attempting to recover from the trauma. At this point she had just informed her family of the abuse and that she was going to name the cousin who had molested her as a child and the man in their church who had raped her. The family wanted her to remain silent and ‘just leave it be’. She has many health problems and refers to herself as a ‘hypochondriac’.

Keywords: Curare, sexual abuse, sleep apnoea, paralysis, insulin, depression, psychosis, religious, stigmatised, hypochondria, suicidal, family dysfunction, sensation shattered.
