Today, she messaged me over fb (in a different country atm) that she was "having a breakdown." This breakdown/flashback isn't an isolated incident but she has not told me how often she gets them.

She said she was feeling shitty because she couldnt bring herself to hug her brother goodbye. She couldn't because she can "only accept physical contact from certain people" (ie me) and that touching her family (especially male ones) is "inappropriate" and "sexual harassment." She also feels that another sexual assault on her is impending.

We both go to a university that offers free counseling services to its students. When I told her that she should take advantage of these services she took it harshly saying that I didn't want the burden of dealing with it, among other things. She thinks all they're going to say is that "it's not your fault" and "it's going to be ok" and that she already knew those things, ergo, they would be of no help. I told her that she is vastly underestimating them and their skills but she would not listen. 

I sincerely believe this to be a problem that is beyond my capability to help her (she sees it the exact opposite way) but how can I make her see that so that she gets the help she needs? Reddit please advise.

GF has PTSD from past sexual harassment/molestation events. She refuses to seek professional help. I believe it is a problem that can only be solved by her seeking it out and getting help for herself. She refuses to believe that. What can I do to
