Opening up..

Doctor Janki was waiting for her in the consultation room. Sheila knocked on the consultation room door and with the doctors permission, let Diya in and closed the door behind her saying she would come back and get Diya once the consultation is over.

Dr. Janki smiled at Diya. "Hi Diya. Please take your seat." Diya thanked her and sat on the Sofa designated for the patients. Dr. Janki came and sat on the chair nearby. "Ok Diya. How are you feeling today". Diya smiled and said she was ok. Dr. Janki gave her a kind smile and continued. "Did you attend the meditation sessions here. How do you feel?" Diya replied "I had attended the session. Helped me feel calm as usual. Initially I wasn't able to concentrate. But now it's becoming better".

"Its really good to hear that it helped. I had suggested you to write down your thoughts. It would help you get things off your mind. Writing is a good way to express your emotions. Did you try it ?" Dr. Janki asked Diya. "I started writing down today doctor. Not really about what I am feeling right now. But may be like from the beginning. From my childhood." Diya answered. "Would you like to share it with me. Let's start at the beginning as you said. When do you think this all started. You can speak freely Diya. I won't interrupt you. You can just imagine that you are writing down in your diary" Dr. Janki sat with a notepad and pen in her hand.

Diya sat there for a while. She wanted to get everything off her mind. It's been cluttered for a really long time and she wanted to let it all go. May be Dr. Janki can guide her. She slowly started recounting her story to Dr. Janki.
