I don't know if this has been suggested to you before, but showing Bree the contents of the box from her father may help to break the spell the Order has on her and help her to come around. It's worth trying.
Daniel,
Since we are not there, I would not suggest this yet. Showing the box to Bree right now could possibly be harmful.
I do not discredit the idea of showing her what is in the box.
But, right now, I would suggest:
1. Round the clock watch over her.
2. Do not physically force her to do anything else.
3. Give her lots of water.
4. Start a normal diet with the regular food groups.
5. Let her talk, or not talk.
But, do not force your words upon her.
6. Tough love is always best, but do not "smother" her with words or restraint.
7. Do not mention her being "brainwashed"/she may shut down on you. (Say the least amount you can about the HoO.)
8. She needs nurturing. So, be gentle.
9. She may refuse to eat, that is OK. Try "ensure" drinks, for nutrients.
10. If she starts to come around a little, if too much is pushed upon her in excitement, she is starting to see things clearly, she could go right back into denial.
Be careful. Tell her you have a box from her Dad, ask her if she wants to see it. If she says "yes" show it to her. If during showing her the box, she starts to "freak out" close the box and tell her the rest of the contents can wait until she is up for it. P. Monkey can help in a positive way, when she starts to show signs of "coming around."
Good luck Daniel.
