Abstract
This is an autobiographical paper which intends to explore relationship
in the continuously changing world through our stories of life. I tried to explore
some of my childhood experiences and some stories of my life in different times.
Besides, I have included the case study of a 27 year-old-girl who consulted me
seeking counselling help. Her stories, her relationships with her parents, friends
and others along with her suffering from depressed mood, intense anger acting out,
vacillating sexual involvement with others, tendency of self-injury, anxiety, lack
of concentration, indecisiveness were explored in the counselling sessions. She
urgently felt the need of professional help as it was becoming increasingly difficult
for her to bear it alone. In this study I have tried to analyse our journey in the
counselling chamber on a step-by-step basis to find out the aetiology of her symptoms
from different theoretical perspectives. It led me not only to personal environment
of the person but also to some structural issues. As a counsellor besides my
conceptualization of the aetiology of the symptoms I also tried to reflect on my own
role as a counsellor, how the sessions contributed to enriching my insight and my
praxis as a professional.
