Pain is one thing that needs to be addressed. However how she feels about herself in the situation and the fact that it has impacted on her ability to have some control over herself and her life is just as serious. Taking measures to control the pain, and then not trusting herself to be able to determine what she is really feeling brings about confusion and self doubt in not being able to know the difference between a good day and a bad one. Thus the poor image, labeling , hopelessness etc. Get a good addictions professional to work out those feelings and provide support for her. Relaxation techniques and guided imagery are good tools in stretching her abilities to see opportunities that she can tap into even on a subconscious level. Good Luck
