DAY 1 (11/11/2025)
Session 1 (12.45 p.m. to 2.30 p.m.)
Started with invocation.
The stages 1 to 5 were done.
Stage 6 History Taking:
Sahana was the younger one with a brother who was one year elder to her. Her parents were divorced at her younger age. She spent her first five years in West Bengal with her family. She had a tough father who got drunk every night and physically assault her mother in front of kids. Both kids were also beaten on some nights. One such day, when her father was beating mother frightened five-year-old took a large knife and attacked her father from a chair. That night the three of them fled from Kolkata to Kerala to their maternal house. What waited for them in their maternal house was a patriarchal step grandfather and maternal grandmother. She was often criticized for dark skin and her father not being from their caste. Both the siblings were sometimes given food outside the house like servants and were expected to do house chores. They rarely allowed the kids talk to their mother over phone. Even though they were Sahanaâs own grandmother, she did not give the love and care they deserved. Her step grandfather often manipulated this little girl sexually too. She could not understand what was happening first and she thought it was what to be done. Her school life was no different. Her classmates bullied her for her color and in the name of her father. She was comfortable being friends with boys than girls. She stood strong even for her brother and once hit the senior boys in school for bullying her big brother. A big issue was created out of it and teachers beated them.
After a few years, her mother got divorce and got transfer to Chennai. She called her kids to come over to stay with her on a condition that they pass their current school in Kerala with good marks. Sahana went to her mother while her brother opted to stay behind. She was very excited to stay with her mother after so many years and reaching their flat she realized the truth that her mother was in a live-in relationship with a distant relative whom she fondlingly call as Appa. It was a studio flat and often she witnessed them together in situations not to be seen and heard. This disturbed her very much. Though that man was loving and playful towards her she could not accept him with her mother. She hated her mother.
Later she joined school hostel and spent two years entirely in school. She became a very studious girl and had many friends to play with. It became her happy place. She learnt from her school sex education classes that she was sexually abused by her step grandfather and she got broken. But her friends supported her and asked to stand for herself. Then COVID hit. That year, her momâs boyfriend got transferred to Kerala and her mother took VRS to move to Kerala. This shocked Sahana. She was not ready to move back to Kerala. They moved to Trivandrum for a few months and then to Ernakulam.
She was very happy to be back with her brother again. But by that time, many things changed between them. Both the kids did not want her momâs boyfriend to live with them and the three of them settled down together as a family for the first time. She fell into a relationship with her step uncleâs friend who had an age difference of nearly 10 years. After a year, they broke up. She enjoyed spending more time with friends and stood for her likes inside house. She was seen as a girl with no dignity by her mother and brother. She got into another toxic relationship by the time she joined college. It drained her emotionally and all her money she was earning at that time were spent on him. He also insulted her with bad words in front of her friends and in private. It lasted for nearly one year and she started getting panic attacks by the end of that relationship. She could not understand why she fell for that guy for the first time. Soon after that relationship she gave her mom full control over her finances, taking part in house expenses. Though sometimes her mother asks the question what have you done for the family as if taken her for granted. This makes her sad. Sahana and her mother provided for her brotherâs higher studies as he was not ready to take up any part time jobs as he considers his job at his age is to study and not to earn. Her mother supported that decision. It was during that time, her grandmother got down with cancer and a lot of amounts were spent for the hospital. Without any support, her mother took care of the grandmother.
She had started her own dance class and was fully engaged in her world. In the second year of college, she got into a relationship with her friend. She has not told her family about her current relationship status. Her mother is afraid of losing her son and emotionally not available for her daughter. Currently she is having tough time with her mother and brother. She feels like she was never accepted for who she is and misunderstood. Nobody stood with her when she needed the most. Her own family abused her and she is not confident with herself on how she looks. Her mother and brother continue arguing with her, in the name of past relationships and see her as arrogant.
Our theme chosen for the session when I asked for was âSadnessâ. To find the root of her sadness, to feel alive, and confident, we started our session.
Session 2 (2.50 p.m. to 4.45 p.m.)
We started with stage 7 Relaxing the cognitive fatigue. Later we finalized the theme as working on sadness arising from childhood trauma and confirmed IMR. We moved on to stage 10 Dave Elman, Progressive Relaxation and stage 11 Ball of light visualization deepened her trance and through the stairs to the Paradise of peace Garden. From there, asked her to visualize a tunnel of light and was taken to her happy memory.
The client was taken to her childhood memories playing happily with her dad and with her childhood friend. She could feel the happiness inside her reliving her happy childhood with family and friends. Upon guiding back further she was taken back in time when she saw herself in the hospital as a baby. She vividly remembers the yellow lights in the hospital where she was born. She was just born. Upon further taking back in time, she saw darkness and could not hear anything. She felt outside the womb watching her mother talking to the baby inside the womb. She as crying watching this scene when her crying mother, sitting on a chair, telling âbe strongâ to the baby.
The client was experiencing abreactions. She spent some time watching her mother talking to the baby in her belly from distance. Then she was taken back to the garden to refresh. She went to the garden and saw an old man which she identified as her grandfather (not from this lifetime). Suddenly the garden was snowing and she saw a small girl playing in the snow. When asked, the old man who was called John, asked her to return home from the snowing garden.
The client wanted to emerge from the trance. So, bought back to the client to the awaken state by counting from 10 to 1 and was given progressive suggestions to become alert. The client said that she was experiencing headaches and eyes were swollen a bit with crying. She told the old man was not a person from this lifetime, but sensed him as her grandfather.
