Recovery Narratives
Patient Recovery Narrative: 1
‘‘My journey with Emoneeds started a year ago, and as I recall the past, I feel extremely grateful to the Emoneeds team. I remember when I started my first session with my psychologist (Amit), I had a different world going on in my head. I was into delusions and had started believing all that was imaginary. In such a situation, I had received such support and sessions from Amit that I really felt that I was heard well and that now I have someone who hears me without judging me. With doctor consultation and regular counseling, I felt I was in safe hands, and it proved to be true within a month when my delusions had drastically reduced and I was more aware of my real world. During this critical transition time, Amit shared techniques and strategies to improve my condition, and I followed every word he said.
Nevertheless, the daily supervision by a very polite counseling psychologist (Manisha) made me feel that I was not going through all this alone, I had a friend to share all my thoughts and concerns with, and she would note my progress and concerns every day. I needed a friend who would know about my condition and talk to me without judging my situation or pitying me. I found that friend in Manisha. I thank her for her patience with me. When I was doubting the whole world in my initial phase, I easily developed trust in her. Manisha has also taken therapy sessions where we have worked on my anxiety, and following her strategies was helpful. Besides, I also loved the doctors I was assigned to. They did treat me like I was already fine, and that motivated me a lot. Emoneeds indeed addressed my emotional and medical needs on time. A heartfelt thank you to all of them.’’
