Ankur Strives for Self Improvement Through Therapy

I am all about self-improvement and becoming the best version of myself, it could be in my career, my finance, or just life in general.-  Liza Soberano

Every problem is unique and so is its way to solve it. Ankur, who is 23-years-old, is a student at IIM Lucknow. Currently pursuing his MBA program, Ankur has always been an independent person right from his childhood. From 11-12 years of age, Ankur grew up in boarding. 

Introverted from within, Ankur doesn’t prefer interacting with a lot of people. Nonetheless, he always finds his peace within music or playing games. Belonging to Uttar Pradesh, Ankur always tries to keep up to his own expectations.

“I always go for counseling whenever I feel like I am not performing up to my full potential.”

Ankur was always very determined to keep his academics on track. So, whenever he noticed a downfall in his performance, he prefers seeking a third-person perspective to gain some self improvement. As self mprovement lay as his primary objective, Ankur never let himself feel short of putting efforts to gain clarity on his approaches. 

“Although I didn’t see any behavioural changes from my side regarding my necessity to perceive self improvement, I definitely felt stressed out.”

Ankur’s college was associated with YourDOST, through which he got in touch with a counselor from the platform. Ankur established a good impression on the counselor. The counselor turned out to be a good listener and provided him with a safe space to express his concerns. 

Ankur was also suggested certain techniques to boost his self improvement. Some of the techniques encouraged included journaling as well as following a schedule.

“Through counseling I aquired more control over my thoughts and actions.”

In a fun rapid-fire round, Ankur rated his overall improvement with a 4 out of 5. Describing his journey as “balance”, Ankur appreciates the process as a chance to talk to someone without being judged. 

As he extends his hearty gratitude to his counselor with a thank you, YourDOST feels delighted to be able to help him in his efforts for self improvement. We wish him luck!

1. It’s better to find someone and talk about your problems than keeping it in.
2. Counseling provides a platform to vent out one’s emotions without getting judged.
