the best way you can help her get help is by communicating with her, being honest about your feelings and letting her know that regardless of what the outcome is, you're willing to make the relationship last. She says she needs to clear her head, which is completely understandable. I think you should explain to her that seeking the assistance of a professional can help her do that - help her sort through and deal with her past. i think its important that you tell her that you want to take the relationship in a sexual direction, she should know that you feel this way. but also let her know that you love her regardless and the not having a sexual relationship, and you are patience enough to allow her to work through this and even more you will be there for her and help her work through this, no matter how long it takes. she needs assurance that you won't get frustrated or impatient and stray towards someone else. I can only imagine what she's going through. I will probably be a long difficult road, but let her know you're willing to walk it with her all the way to the end.
