How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

Dropped them

Found an empty bench..

But, then it hit me hard.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

And entered the park.

Your credentials do not matter!

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

I looked around me

I did not go back to my home.

And, I had not made it.

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
