An 18 year old girl came to find the reason of her short
height and fear of swimming. All the members of her family are tall except her.
Session:
I am a 24 years old
man living in a big house. I am leaving my home, it is dark outside. I have walked
a long distance all alone and now I have reached a village. There are many
small huts in the village. I enter one of the huts. There is a lady of my age
in the hut. She serves me food. She is my wife. We had a love marriage and that
is why I left my parent’s home. I had gone to take money from my parent’s home.
It is India and the year is 1916.
I am going in search of work. When I came back, I find that
my wife is going along with Mukhiya of
the village. She looks happy. I asked
her to stay but she took all my money and went away. I am sitting alone and crying.
There is no food to eat. The whole day I lay alone in the hut. It is night. My
wife has come back. She has brought some food for me. I ate and went into deep
sleep. (started crying with pain) The Mukhiya is holding both my legs. My wife
is cutting both my thighs with a sharp knife. It is very painful. I am bleeding. Mukhiya is putting salt on my wounds. It’s so
much pain. I am sinking. They are taking me out of the hut and threw me in the river
on the outskirts of village.
A fisherman took me out of the river. He takes
care of me. I am going to my parent’s home with the help of fisherman. I am not
able to walk. I walk with sticks. I cannot go out of home. I cannot work. I do
nothing.
After 5 months my wife comes back in my home. I forgive her.
My parents don’t want her to stay. It’s night, my wife is asking me to take big
money and return to the village hut again. I agree and take money. She is
taking me to village holding my hand. It’s very painful to walk. I am almost
dragged by her. Now we live in hut. I am ok because she stays with me. After
few weeks she again left the hut. I waited for three days for her return. It’s
midnight. I hold both the sticks and walk towards the same river. I jump and am
drowned. I am dead.
My last thought was don’t trust anybody and always value
money.
REORIENTATION
She told I cannot take salt easily. The sight of salt makes me very uncomfortable.
She is from a wealthy family but is not
ready to buy expensive things. She is very hesitant in her birthday
celebrations. She fears loss of money. She doesn’t trust friends/love. She told that now I know the reason of my
short height and suddenly I feel lighter.
