It's the usual story here, poor engagement and immediately Joanne thinks she can larp as the person in the role who is trying to help her.
Essentially I think that's the issue here, she has a need to feel important, dominant even and it leads to brick walls.
At this point I think meds would at least take the edge off, I dont know what the situation is with MH in her area, I know we're swamped but in the olden days Joanne would be going in for a wee rest.
