Her home is her safe place and keeping the curtains and blinds closed makes it even safer. What does her husband say? Will she leave the house with him? Will she go into the back garden? My first success was to do that. It was very private with 6ft walls so that I was totally enclosed but it was outside and it extended my safe space. Keep in touch by text. She may not answer but she knows you're thinking about her and that means so much. She needs professional help even if it's just meds because she won't come out of this on her own. She'll also need a huge amount of support and understanding from her husband and family.
