The Speakmans

Claire has an extreme phobia of veins and she is currently 26 weeks pregnant. Claire hasn't looked at her own legs in three years because of varicose veins! Claire hated her varicose veins so much that she had an operation to get them removed. When Claire gets hot, the veins on her hand protrude and she cannot do anything that involves using her hands. Claire has a 17 month old daughter and sometimes she cannot change her nappy, feed her or bath her. Claire relies heavily on her 17-year-old daughter, Charleigh to help out with the daily chores. Charleigh is a street dancer and regularly performs which involves a lot of fake tan and make up. Claire is unable to help her daughter get ready due to her fear of veins. Claire is pregnant and is absolutely terrified as the doctor needs to take blood which means finding a vein! Claire cannot look at people who wear shorts or skirts incase they have veins. This phobia is taking over Claire's life, there's no getting away from veins and she wants to be able to accept herself and others.

In mediation, Claire's sister and daughter tell her that her fear is having a big impact on the rest of the family.
