I am a 41 year old female, psychologist (mainly in academics, but also done counseling as a school and college counselor) and mother of an adopted daughter of nearly 9 years.

Anil was on drowning ship -

Man with early middle age, bit obese, short and stalky built. Looking straight into my eyes, appeared honest and self motivated. Speaking initially with confidence, later on tapering down in volume and strength. To me, he appeared bit pompous.
Anil came with a crisis situation.
No job for 7-8 months, no savings, no home of his own, wife doing non-lucrative part time work at home, had a daughter.
Anil and his family were living of courtesy/ mercy of his mother. ..a widow.

A middle aged man came to my center in 2002.

He read about my work in newspaper.

He came from a small city in northern part of India.

He looked thin, frail and very sad.

He lost his two sons and then his wife in a period of 4-5 years few years back.

This is a collection of responses from my clients.
They sent these expressions when they started feeling better and tasted a healing from deep physical and psychological wounds from obsessive skin picking.
The names and the exact location of these persons are kept confidential.

Demanding girlfriend -

Few months back, a couple approached me for therapy.

Both wished to be together in my cabin.

The man (a boyfriend) - Suresh (a changed name) living in a big metro city had specifically came to my center with his girlfriend. He had visited my website and had recommended it to his girlfriend to get my help.
