Some years ago I met with a lady who had, she told me had become spiritually aware which caused her to appear translucent or transparent. She accepted this as factual which is why I find the case so interesting.
There is a common phenomena with people who experience trauma, often when they find it difficult to cope with as in the death of a baby stillborn or the person was victim of some sort.
In order to appease the anxiety there is often a story is associated with it in order to explain the guilt….. in this case she saw herself as translucent as a consequence of a traumatic event. She became better after therapy but it was essentially time that resolved her problem.
This is a small painting I made some years after the event which I found in my case study files.
