Abstract

This work is the narrative approach to the personal story of a young woman who had locked her soul and body behind a strict mask of absolute control for many years. The woman had thrown away the keys because of the fear of reviving appalling memories of her past. The ghost of abuse had invaded her life, causing her much pain from avery early age. For years, she carried her secret hidden deeply in her soul. Throughout her treatment she decided to narrate her memories and past emotions.The treatment finally became her vehicle that would successfully help her pass through the past.
