It felt weird...I mean, I still had all my senses, I was fully aware of my surroundings, I knew my name, where I was, and the fact that I was here seeking help to overcome my issues. Only difference was, Dr. Nelson was the one who had complete control of my mind now.

I trusted her though, and I had every faith that this would work out...it had to.

''Faith, can you hear me?'' she asked calmly.

''Yes'' I replied.

''Good, can you tell me a little about yourself?''

''My name is Faith Melrose, I was born in Dayton Ohio USA. And I'm a professional wrestler''

''Good...good'' she said again.

45 MINUTES LATER...

We had pretty much addressed every topic on my list now, all except for one...the one.

I dreaded going there again in my mind, but in reality I knew it needed to be done.

''Now Faith...'' Dr. Nelson said, and came and stood by the head my chair, gently placing the palm of her hands on either side of my forehead ''I know this last one is going to be somewhat difficult for you, so I want you to lean all the way back for me...'' she said in a nice calming tone, while gently easing the chair back slowly for me using some type of remote control ''Good. Now I want you to allow your entire body to relax and fall heavy'' she said ''just un-tense your muscles, clear your mind, then from head to toe I want you to center your breathing''

She remained quiet for a few seconds, allowing me to adjust as instructed.

''The reason for this Faith, is because I'm going to have to bring you back to the scene of your attack. You will be asked to re-live the incident, and this may cause you upset and discomfort, but you have to see it through Faith, you must face those demons in order to get rid of them'' she told me ''It's the only sure way to really deal with, and conquer your fears once and for all. Nod if you understand me''

I nodded.

''Good. Now if I feel at any moment you can't handle what your mind's eye is showing you, I will bring you back Faith, I promise.''

I trusted and believed her completely.

She removed her hands slowly from my temple, and with my eyes still closed, I felt her presence slowly come from from around the chair and stand in front of me, before taking a calm deep breath, and adjusting her voice to an even more soothing level which I found very comforting ''...now Faith, I want you to go back in your mind to the day of your attack, and I want you to tell me what you were doing, and how you felt moments before it happened'' she said.

''I...I was standing outside the building of my office Christmas party....I was cold...but I wanted a cigarette...'' I told her.

''You couldn't smoke inside?'' she asked.

''I could...but, I didn't want my co-workers knowing I smoked...they would just give me a hard time about it...''

''Then what happened?''

''I lit my cigarette...and...'' I felt my breathing getting heavier...

''Take your time Faith, don't rush, we have all the time in the world....that's it....nice and easy...nice and easy'' she said in a soft soothing tone.

I felt myself become a little calmer, with the aid of her smooth voice, which is exactly what I needed as I had fully placed my trust in her therapy.

''Continue...'' she said softly.

''All of a sudden...someone came up behind me and put their hand over my mouth...and...I was being dragged away from my party...''

Even though they were closed, I felt the tears fall from my eyes as I slowly began to re-live the horror all over again.

''Where did he take you Faith?'' she asked softly.

''He...I don't...I don't know...I don't remember...down a dark street I think...''

''Breath....breath...you're ok....then what happened?''

''He....he...'' I felt my hands gripping the arms of the chair, as I began breathing much heavier and louder now. I then felt Dr Nelson come up behind me again, and gently place the palm of her hands on either side of my temples trying to calm me.

''Centre you your breathing Faith...it's important for you to let your mind and body completely relax right now...your safe here with me ok...no one is going to hurt you...this is just your mind's eye your feeling. Now I want you to continue on for me....'' she said softly.

I slowly breathed in and out...in and out...in and out...

''He....he ripped all my clothes from me...and...he raped me I whispered.

Dr. Nelson was silent.

I wasn't sure if she was writing something down, or whether she was in just as much shock as Roman had been when I first told him.

''Ok Faith....so....what happened next?''

''He continued to rape me, for what felt like over an hour...'' I told her.

''Did you know your assailant?''

''No...I didn't recognize him...''

''Could he be an ex-boyfriend maybe?''

''No, I never dated anyone with that build before''

''How long before they caught him Faith?'' she asked curiously.

''They never did. I was too traumatized to give any real evidence, and I ended up blocking everything out'' I said, breathing in and out slowly again.

''What can you tell me about him?''

''He...he was tall...well built...strong...''

''Go on...''

''He wore a mask throughout...and he...he smelled funny'' I told her.

''You say he smelt funny? Can you describe the smell for me?''

''I don't know...it was a toxic kind of smell...I can't describe it''

''Interesting....'' she said.

''Can you remember anything else Faith? Anything more about his appearance or features maybe...I really want you to delve deeper into your mind...deeper than you ever allowed yourself to go before...because to fight your demons Faith, you have to face them first''

''I'm scared to...'' I whispered.

''What scares you the most?''

''That he's still out there....that he could hurt me again'' I sobbed.

''He won't be able to if you overcome your fear of him, and I know you can do it Faith. I just need you to be stronger than he was'' she said softly ''Now was there anything else? Hair color maybe...clothing?''

I carefully let my mind travel back to what he looked like when he was on top of me....''It was dark...he had a mask, so I didn't see his hair''

''Any distinct features maybe, like an accent?'' she asked.

Slowly now... and frame...by frame...I began forming the image of him very clearly in my mind.

I saw him holding me down again...gripping my neck tightly...unbuckling his belt...forcing my legs apart....then pushing his pants down ready to assault me....oh god! OH MY GOD!!!

All of a sudden I began hyperventilating hard, fiercely gripping the arms of the chair until I felt my knuckles turn white!

CLICK

''Faith! I'm pulling you back! I'm pulling you back! Can you hear me? Are you ok? What did you see?'' I heard Dr. Nelson asking in a panic.

I just sat and stared at her in horror! I was too shocked to speak! My heart was racing, and my head and palms were all sweaty!

''Faith please...what did you see?''

''A wolf''
