Resilience isn’t built in a day\u2014it’s forged in moments of struggle, reflection, and determination. This is what Janani (name changed) experienced after putting the work into therapy and coming out stronger on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A civil engineering graduate from the prestigious SVNIT, Janani, is originally from Ahmedabad. She comes from a small family of four, including her father, mother, and brother, who is seven years younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child, Janani was particularly fascinated with skating and spent most of her school years pursuing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when she reached the 10th standard, she had a tough decision. She wanted to prioritise her academics, too. Skating took a backseat as she focused all her energy on her JEE preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janani remembers being raised by her parents as an independent person. She had to make tough decisions and follow through by herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Because of incidents at home and the independence that came with a lot of responsibilities, I grew up with a lot of sadness, anger and frustration.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When working, she experienced a fallout from her relationship with her partner, which left her questioning a lot of things, as well as experiencing a lot of emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I grew up as a sensitive child, and a lot of hurt and anger from the past was still in my head.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janani knew she needed to work through the same to improve. Making the transition to therapy was not tough since she had been a passionate advocate of the importance of mental health since her school days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since her college, had a subscription with YourDOST, and they had been receiving regular communications about the platform, she decided to log into the platform and try therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing on her mind was the few interviews she had lined up for business school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since she could not concentrate on all the other things in her life, she wanted to speak to a counselor about navigating these aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After listening to her, her counselor suggested tactics to deal with these problems. She remembers three activities that had the most impact on her morale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One was muscle relaxation, which helped her navigate stressful situations. The second was positive self-talk and affirmations, which helped her navigate situations like exams and interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third was meditation, which helped her calm her brain when she experienced negative thoughts or doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I believe these methods will also help me in the future; I am very grateful to my counselor for introducing me to these three techniques.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Janani is grateful to her counselor for lending a helpful ear. She also thanks her counselor for her patience during the sessions, which helped Janani arrive at the answers herself. This was a major boost to Janani’s confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She now rates herself a 4 out of 5 in terms of feeling better. We wish her the best of luck in the journey ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n
