Karlette believes she's suffering from PTSD, although she's not been formally diagnosed her doctor suggested that she may be suffering from it. Seven years ago, Karlette was 15 and was brutally attacked by two women. Since the attack, Karlette has lost all of her confidence and has become short tempered. She relives the attack on a nightly basis and believes that it's stopping her from living her life to the full. Karlette is a very talented singer and dancer who won a scholarship at a high-end performing arts school, but she's not been able to perform since the attack.
During mediation, the family tell Karlette some home truths about how much she has changed since the attack. In an emotional plea, the family tell Karlette that her temper is out of control and that they would do anything to have the old Karlette back.
In therapy, The Speakmans discover that Karlette's attack has had a huge impact on her behaviour. Karlette struggles on a daily basis as she keeps reliving the attack. The Speakmans attempt to treat Karlette and make her realise that the attack was not her fault.
Can The Speakmans help Karlette gain back her confidence? Will Karlette let go of the past and continue to pursue her dream of performing?
