Thanks for the link. I am going to read more about it. I have been trying to convince my daughter to see a neighbour who is a healer and uses what appears to be similar methods, that is a western adaptation of eastern medicine. She finds blockages in the "chi" or body's energy flow and taps or massages gently on those spots or applies homeopathic remedies. She believes the perp has left a piece of himself in my daughter, as least in my daughter's mind. Because he made my daughter perform oral sex on him she has a continuing sense of being "dirty" and "defiled". For example, when she went for counselling and examination and a sexual abuse medical clinic she asked if his DNA could "still be inside her" (this 5 years after the fact). The healer goes on soul journeys or dream journeys with the clients to find this injured parts of their souls. OK, I know this sounds incredibly hokey but I don't think it is the science that is important - it is the symbolism. In the case of damage to the soul or self, ritual and symbol can be more powerful healers than any meds or even counselling.
However, so far I haven't been able to convince my daughter to go. Partly it is her natural shyness, partly she has inherited her father's analytical mind and is a doubting Thomas but mostly she can't stand being touched.
