Aesha Mohammadzai had her nose and ears cut off by Taliban AESHA Mohammadzai is a 22-year-old woman who's experienced enough pain for 22 lifetimes. She's the Afghan teenager, who at 18 fled to the United States after being left severely disfigured for defying the Taliban.
Ms Mohammadzai had her nose and ears cut off by her brutal husband for attempting to escape their arranged marriage.
"When they cut off my nose and ears, I passed out. In the middle of the night it felt like there was cold water in my nose," she told CNN.
"I opened my eyes and I couldn't even see because of all the blood."
Now, four years after she arrived in the US and two years after TIME magazine's shocking front cover made her famous, Ms Mohammadzai is picking up the pieces.
She's undergone treatment, but her psychologist told CNN in a special piece that the ordeal has left Ms Mohammadzai with deep emotional scars.
"I really hope at some point she'll be a functioning young lady that had a terrible trauma," said Shiphra Bakhchi.
Ms Mohammadzai was violently attacked by her husband and in-laws and was left for dead.
She somehow mustered the strength to crawl to her grandfather's house for help, where her father organised her recovery.
In 2010, she was taken in by New York organisation Afghan Women, but her traumatic ordeal led her to violent outbursts and self-harm.
Over time she began to mend some of those wounds before leaving the compound late last year.
"By the time she left, she was a different human being," said Esther Hyneman, her guardian at the facility.
"So we're all happy if she's in the right place to further her development, but we miss her."
