I work alot with trauma cases and in this case she needs to be right -
nothing has worked for her. I would just honour her stance and sit quietly
with her as she feels heard and then the fight response can soothe. Then
often there is a surrendering towards some relief. Or not. Her life, her
choice.

I am wondering if anyone has worked with a highly traumatizes person.
The trauma stems from early childhood abuse by a narcissistic mother and
an absent father. This person has no connections to feelings and
sensations. All her reactions are either emotional flooding or anger.
She has gone to a massage therapist for 3 years and would feel exactly the
same after every treatment as before.
She was her mother's slave, cooking, cleaning, caretaking, etc. She had no
friends and never developed a sense of herself. She is successful in
business working with numbers. What she wants is a family live. Anything I
suggest or do with her she rejects or claims she has done (everything)
before and nothing works.
I am not a beginner at this I am a Psychotherapist and a Constellation
Facilitator for over 20 years, and yet this is a new situation.
Yours,
