My Aunt Experiencing PTSD

[blazer45]

Hello there! I'm new here so let me say first a little about myself. I'm 23 years old from Philippines. I've been looking for a site that could help us with the problem of my aunt. Three (3) years ago is the very traumatic moment of her life their house burned with fire losing her 3 year old daughter. I think she's already moved on, but the problem is when she sees fire even a lighted candle she would scream and then would run a way. We dont know what are we going to do with her. I read an article saying to overcome your fear is to face it we also tried the counselling method with the help of several psychologist here in our town. But due to lack of financial support we failed to complete the therapy sessions. I wanted to help my aunt but I don't have enough money for any other counselling. Please help us with this. I am glad to hear response from you. Thank you in advance.
