The greatest battle I've had to fight in life was with my own past. Memories haunted me and all I wanted was to run away. Most of the time, I looked for escapes, distractions and false securities. All this pushed me into intense suffering, chaos and confusion. Years together, I lived with self-hatred, self-pity and self-destructive thoughts. I saw no hope for myself. Agreeing to seek help from a counsellor was not easy either. I was skeptical, unwilling and cynical. With a much needed push from my friends and well-wishers, I finally decided to take help from Dr. Kusum. That one decision turned out to be the strongest commitment I made for my own well-being.
In the very first session, Dr Kusum gave me the confidence to open up about my deepest fears and vulnerabilities. She held a safe space for me to share my past experiences. Her non-judgemental and non-interfering ways of leading conversations was very helpful. She asked the right questions, equipping me with the right ways of looking at my own reactions and thought processes, both within and outside our sessions. Slowly, I could get in touch with my mind's most abstract images, memories and thoughts. I started being compassionate towards myself, made peace with my past and accepted my life as it is with all its good and bad sides. I felt deeply enriched and empowered through this process. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Kusum for being an important part of this amazing journey!
