ABSTRACT

Bella, a leggy, seventeen-year-old beauty, slid gracefully into my office for her initial session. Her large luminous eyes hurriedly scrutinised her surroundings as she settled herself into the chair. Even though she was quite tall, she gathered her gazelle-like legs under her and appeared as if a small child, bewildered to find herself in this place. Bella, an accomplished musician on full scholarship to a renowned music school, wanted to quit, giving up the dream of a promising professional career, a dream she had aspired to and wished for since she was a very young child when she first fell in love with her instrument.
