hello everyone and may you all have a happy and prosperous Diwali. This blog is not what it sounds like but in a way it is. I talk confusing i have realized that but cant help. This is that one meet in the day care that we did for all the patients who are under medications but are in the state where they can work and live their normal life and also the patients who need medication as well as daily day care. When i said i started my internship it was just not in the de-addiction center but also a daycare run but the same hospital for people with depression, mental retardation and more.
This meet was new to me in every term no matter what as i am a new intern. And also i have just started to i hardly know the patient who come very single day. I am not so comfortable person in public so i choose this medium to throw everything out from my mind and heart. we began the meet by introducing ourselves to some exercise which included sound therapy which was fun. here we used our own facial expressions and the mouth movement to create different sounds. Then we continued our session with some dance therapy were we moved our bodies in an assisted therapy which was so calming.
Then the session where we all introduced ourselves especially the new members of the group. introducing myself was never a problem to me but recently i have realized that i lack speaking in my own mother tongue. So it went well i must say not good exactly. people that come to the day care are also not very open to English is what i have realized. after the introduction all the patients started talking about their life journey, their disorder journey their recovery journey and their help to the society in acknowledging them about their disorder and how they and their family have gone through. everyone shared their life with all which almost made me cry and they also shared how they got out of it and now they are living their happy life and a very normal one.
these stories and people are such a turner for me as a person, as a person in the field of psychology. Mostly as a person i have realized and forever grateful for the childhood i have had as it plays an important role in what a person i am today. I hope this makes you feel grateful as well.
Thankyou🌼
