Meet Dr. Cara Williams, Clinical Psychologist & Director of Research in the School of Psychology at Central State University, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Cara, by today’s standards, is a strong, driven woman, and those traits would be spot-on accurate if driven includes total control over just about every damn thing and every damn body. Did I mention that she has a good heart? She refuses to accept the reality that one cannot lose the control that one never had in the first place because…of course…she is always in control, even when she’s spinning out of it.
The need for control stems from protecting her privacy, her past story of sexual abuse, and what she did to overcome it and then live with the maintenance of the secret. The secret of her past is a scar that remains fresh as a reminder that she is unworthy of having an intimate loving relationship; at least, that’s what she’s been telling herself.
The influences of trust and control collide when she gets the chance, and they conflict with her paranoia and a private brand of PTSD. She can be a bit volatile and come across as a bit of a bitch at times…but did I mention she has a very good heart?
She has her faults, as do we all, but underneath, a human heart needs to be forgiven, especially when the forgiver is herself. She’s more lovable than she gives herself credit for, and even that can be a challenge to break through until somebody helps her feel it and believe it.
