Working with abused women (and a few men) offered the greatest challenge. Helping those who, through no fault of their own, found themselves utterly victimized, often deprived of even the most basic sense of self and of self-value.
Breaking through the resistance of fear and deep mental programming, and assisting these folks to break free of their persecutor/abuser was always difficult, frustrating, challenging, and many times resulted only in failure.
However the successes always compensated me emotionally, allowing me to continue trying.
