I created this meme when I was a Trainee Counselor

During that time, we used to take permission from clients to audio record sessions, which we then had to transcribe word-for-word. As someone who prioritizes client confidentiality above all else, I was not in favor of giving the recordings to AI tools (this was in 2023), which could’ve done it in just a few clicks. However, the privacy of my clients was more important to me. So I used to do it myself.

This whole experience is what inspired the meme.

I used to be so excited for the sessions with my clients. I would go with thorough preparations and notes before the session, and in the sessions, we usually used to meet the goals we had collaboratively, because that’s how therapy is supposed to be.

As a Counselor, I always used to make sure we ended on a hopeful note because I believe that allows them to meet their old friend, optimism. And in some cases, it helped them successfully survive till the next session.

Challenges were on both sides. While they had to do the self-help work and activities we had decided, I had to do the transcripts for each session, and one session was usually 60 minutes long. Only I know how many times I had to listen to the same line in order to type it down word by word and omit the personal information for confidentiality, as it was supposed to be checked by the supervisors.

My method was very lengthy, and because of that, I was always late completing my submissions. I remember I had to take a leave from college just because of the deadline.

Yet now, when I look back, I see that I spent a lot of time on this. Could’ve used AI and saved some time, maybe enjoyed my college life a little bit. But I don’t regret it.

Because it helped me understand my clients so much.

I was able to read between the lines.

Listen to the things that were not said directly, but were still there for you to understand and communicate for further understanding.

Yes, my eyes used to feel exhausted when I used to check my progress in terms of my transcripts, and I always felt like I had a long way to go...

Yet, at the end of every session, I used to feel happy about the progress that my clients were making.

And that’s when this meme was born 😁

Can Journaling Improve Mental Health?

Since I started the series “Let’s Make Journaling Work for You,” I’ve been getting many questions around this, like:

“Is it really going to help me?”

“Can it actually improve my mental health?”

“Can it really help with the trauma I’ve gone through?”

That’s a pretty tough question, right?

I come from the era when Pokémon was a big part of growing up, and I still love them. I’m sure you’ve come across them too. Maybe Pikachu is your favorite 🌟

I want you to reflect:

How many times have you been curious about their journey?

Their backstory?

What had they gone through?

When we see a Pokémon from the start, what type it is, how it fights, how it evolves, and even how it gets defeated and then how it gets up and gets stronger—we stay hooked.

Now think about movies. Don’t we connect more deeply with a protagonist when we understand where they’re coming from? What failures did they face? That’s what allows us to relate because then we start to see ourselves in them.

A character becomes our inspiration when their weaknesses mirror our own. When they were also like us, facing problems like us, and seeing them overcome those challenges makes us feel: If they can, maybe I can too.

We love watching their journey unfold, and our heart feels we could too.

It’s magical, and we’re able to witness all that because it’s documented.

Sure, some of it is fictional. But why let the truth get in the way of a good story, one that inspires action and fuels our dreams!

So maybe it’s high time we start documenting our own stories. Journaling our journeys, our challenges. Not necessarily for others, but for ourselves. So that when we look back, we remember:

If life is good now, we earned it.

And if it isn’t, we’re not done yet, we’re still writing our story.

You should journal—not because I say so—but because one day, it might just make you proud of yourself.

Your Psychologist,

Ambidextrous Anmol

Therapeutic Testimonials

These are precious gifts from my clients, each one a testament to the trust and connection we have built together 🤝

I've struggled with depression, anxiety, and self-confidence issues for a long time and never really had the courage to seek help. But when I finally decided to reach out, I came across Anmol, and I'm so glad I did. He's been an absolute angel in my life. It's a tough task to find a good therapist, much less a therapist that actually helps you open up. Anmol was always welcoming and provided a safe and comforting environment, which allowed me to open up and confront many of my unresolved issues. He made me feel heard and validated my emotions while ensuring that I was walking down the right path when dealing with my emotions. I'm happy to say that I have improved a lot and will continue to do so in the future, and it's all thanks to him. He's an amazing therapist, and I'm so lucky to have found him when I needed it the most. -ST, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Therapeutic TestiTestimonial at www.AmbidextrousAnmol.com

In simple words, I’ve never felt so content and happy. Yes, there were times when I felt lost and sometimes even scared, wondering what I would do next. But I’ve learned a few valuable things during our therapeutic journey together. I realized I was neglecting my emotions by not actually feeling them. I’ve learned to sit with my emotions, acknowledge that they exist, and understand myself better. Surprisingly, this has also helped me empathize with myself. It feels amazing to be there for myself, validate my own feelings, and make choices without seeking others’ approval. This newfound self-awareness has also helped me be more present. I’ve been doing things I never thought I had the confidence to do, like singing on stage in front of an audience & dancing solo with full confidence. I no longer compare myself to others with the same intensity. I made mistakes, but this time, I didn’t beat myself up over them. I can now empathize with others better and express myself when needed. I didn’t realize that making a few changes could have such a profound impact. Yes, there are still emotions I struggle to process and cope with, & areas I need to work on. But now I’m better equipped to navigate those challenging times. I’m happy with my progress so far. I’ve come to realize how much power we hold in influencing our lives when we allow ourselves to freely feel every emotion, whether positive or negative. I remember being uncertain about counseling sessions initially, however, now I’m grateful for taking them with Anmol. He has a gift for making people feel comfortable being themselves around him. I’m genuinely grateful for our sessions together. Thank you for helping me understand my emotions better. You're very patient and kind, and I really appreciate how approachable and dedicated you are, even after our therapeutic journey has ended. - I can’t thank you enough! -UB, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Therapeutic TestiTestimonial at www.AmbidextrousAnmol.com

I was raised in a strict household, and as a shy, introverted girl, it was difficult for me to share my problems with anyone, especially within my family. However, when I was going through a tough time that was affecting my mental health and my studies, I came across Mr. Anmol. I’m so glad I did. Tbh, I never thought I would ever be able to share all my personal problems with somebody like I did. He has always been so friendly that I just opened up to share my personal struggles with him. Thanks to him, I was able to overcome everything. He helped me forgive myself for mistakes I never made and love myself again. I honestly needed to be heard at that time, and he came into my life like an angel and everything just got right!! I used to have anxiety attacks, which are now gone. My relationship with my family has improved significantly, and my academic life has gotten back on track. It feels like I have got a new life. All thanks to the friendly therapist, Mr. Ambidextrous Anmol!! - IS, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Therapeutic Testimonial at www.ambidextrousanmol.com

When I approached Anmol in hope that he will help me handle my emotions; I didn’t expect it would turn me into a complete different version. Be it the way I perceive myself, the people and situations around me or the way I respond to human behavior patterns. I found myself rewiring and changing my ground values. Started being more gentle with myself. Anmol always finds the right clue to reveal the actual root of issue. It is really helpful trait especially for a Psychologist. Documenting how one feel and finding that whatever you feel isn’t so abnormal most of the times feels like a real bliss. Anmol is so good at that; always saying ‘sensible’ ,‘ understandable’. Asking how a session made one feel and introspecting on that helps an individual to actually learn something actively. All these aided me in my journey. Keep spreading your magic Anmol and never lose the spark you have; the most underrated trait one would have is the beaming smile. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors.

When I first approached Anmol, my life felt completely overwhelming. It seemed like everything that could go wrong had gone wrong, and I was left feeling hopeless, consumed by extremely negative emotions. For the first time in my life, these emotions began to take a toll on my physical health—I lost weight, my eating habits changed, I was moving towards being anti-social, and my sleep was deeply affected. From the very beginning, Anmol was incredibly supportive. He helped me uncover aspects of myself that I had been unaware of, and he made me realize that I had been underestimating my own strength. After each session, I could feel a sense of positivity growing within me. He introduced me to several effective techniques, among which I was hesitant about self-catharsis, but he gave me the confidence to embrace it. Though challenging at first, this practice helped me bring closure to the events that were fueling my spiral of negative thoughts. When I began therapy, I was hopeless and socially isolated from my friends and family. However, as I approached the end of our sessions, I noticed a significant shift in my mindset. My thoughts had become more positive, I started to cheer myself up, and I became my own supporter—something that felt impossible before. By the end of therapy, I felt more confident and in control. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anmol to others. He handled my emotions and fears with such gentleness, and never once did I feel uncomfortable during our sessions. His approach was professional, yet deeply humane—almost as if I was confiding in a close friend who genuinely wanted to help. Each session ended on a positive note, and he patiently addressed all my doubts and queries, never rushing through the process. Anmol’s support and guidance have been invaluable to me, and I’m deeply grateful for the progress I’ve made under his care. By - SS, from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.
