Ok, this is kinda disturbing, so LOOK AWAY NOW if you are over-sensitive and are going to cry, cos I don't enjoy making people cry, because I get upset, and then I cry, and then we're ALL crying, and... well, you get the idea...
Spoiler:
she was afraid of buttons because her father would pull the buttons off her clothers when she was a little girl before he sexually abused her. She managed to supress the memories, but it came back as a fear of buttons.
