Keep sighing - it's a form of breathing.
Hugs to you - sorry so many road blocks. How soon will Beljan allow you to fly out for a retest. I wouldn't go local after all you have been through - even if the local person is terrific and does everything right, how are you going to know you can trust it?

But - what I mostly want to say is that relaxation is a skill that can be practiced no matter what the underlying situation is. Watch a few 'Dog Whisperer' episodes and practice that calm assertive energy then teach your DD how to do it. It takes a long time to see the results but it's a great life skill.

Love and More Love,
