trauma response

My 35 y/o married, mother of two, pt. is afraid to put her eyeglasses on because she will have to see people's faces. It's her way of not making eye contact. She is terrified of any intimate confrontation. She knows that her actions are harmful to her eyesight. She has a hx. of long term childhood incest by her father. This is a new target. We have had success in overcoming other fears. Any experiences anyone can share?
