She probably needs medication, which can at least boost her to a point where she can start to heal by herself. For some people therapy works wonders, others, it doesn't. I know I went to two sessions and I felt like I got all I could get from it but medication is more what helps me. I have a chemical imbalance. I feel empty, distance, anxious, and can lash out without medication. When I am on medication it is almost like I still have those urges but they are much less severe and a voice in my head tells me "no, don't throw a pot at a wall." "No, don't scream bloody murder at this person today." I am much better able to see the unhealthiness of my desires and I am able to not do these things. Talk therapy help validate my feelings about what I was going through, and pushed me in the right direction but it didn't do much as far as "healing" me.
