Alicia Duvall

S1 E1: Alicia Douvall is addicted to plastic surgery. She's had scores of procedures from repeated breast surgery operations, nose jobs, eye re-shaping and bone shaving. The surgery's left her with constant pain and nerve damage and Alicia knows that her body can't take much more. Despite this, Alicia is extremely sceptical about therapy when she arrives at Passages and spends the first few days acting like a rebellious teen and refusing to participate in activities. She doesn't believe talking will help her get over her problems and wants to keep 'her past in her past'. Slowly Alicia begins to open up and she gradually reveals a traumatic childhood in which she was abused. At first she gets little comfort from admitting this but by the end of the two weeks Alicia has realised that she doesn't need to keep transforming herself with surgery - she just needs to learn to be comfortable with who she is.
