Abstract :
Meki alleges that she was abandoned by both her mother and father when she was only eight years of age. He mother relocated to South Africa, leaving her behind in the care of her father, who went on to remarry and have another family, which the client eventually became a part of. The client stated that as a result of this, she had been exposed to a myriad of difficult and heart-wrenching situations and experiences at a very young age. The grueling state of affairs had left her thinking that her only way out was taking her own life. Consequently, the client had begun harboring suicidal thoughts, which had continued to escalate as she grew up, resulting in mental distress and failure to cope with her day-to-day life. This prompted her to seek support from a therapist.
