While triggered on holiday, a woman realises the only way to remain a functional member of society is therapy for life. Quick maths: 2,599 sessions at £70 each. And that’s without inflation. So, who pays: the victim, the perpetrator or the state? A razor-edged exploration of abuse, revenge and survival in a world where recovery comes with a receipt.
