my T always explained it as 'comming ALONGSIDE' someone in their pain. So being there is good. But ya, you can't take away her pain, just be there for her. Hold her if she wants to be held. Leave her alone if she is hiding and doesn't want touch.
If you can find a T that is experienced in trauma, that would be good. Not all T's are created equal, you may have to sort thru some.
Best wishes, you got some challenges ahead. You take care of yourself as well.
