As soon as they entered into the dinning room, they pointed guns towards us while asking us to be quiet. It has been ten years now and I can still remember the shock to which I confronted to as a fourteen-year old kid.

They were four men wearing black masks, which covered their entire faces. Then they closed every window. At that particular time instant, the cook was in the kitchen. After noticing this situation, he tried to make a call, but one of the gunmen rushed towards the kitchen and started beating him while dragging him back to the dining room. The cook was bleeding from his head and we assume he went nearly unconscious. The gunmen then put a black mask to cover his head entirely and tightened him with ropes. There after they started tightening up my mother and brother while not forgetting to put up masks over their heads. At that time, when one of them moved towards me, I tried to escape from the room as I was near to the door. But lady luck was not with me, he eventually caught me and dragged me back by holding hair.

I can still feel the chill and pain running throughout my spine when I recall those moments. As I was trying to make myself released from this painful situation, he slapped me two or three times on my face, in order to make me surrender. At that very moment my father tried to retaliate so one of the gunmen shot him on his leg. Instantly we started screaming so the gunmen warned us to stay calm and quiet or they would shoot each one of us.

Finally the gunmen tightened up my father and me and put up the masks over our heads. The masks were so thick that I was not able to see a single ray of light and it was complete dark and black. Then I started feeling suffocation, so I started screaming. Instantly one of the gunmen started beating me up to make me quiet and during the process I got unconscious. I was not aware as to how long I remained in that state. I woke up in a hospital bed and as soon as I became conscious of what happened in our house, I started screaming while shivering with fear. It took me over one week to recover from that shock along with my physical injuries but to this day I am still unsuccessful in recovering my mental state of mind.

Darkness seems to be my week point, I cannot stay alone anywhere and whenever lights are switched off, I feel severe exhaustion and it feels as if I am in hell. It feels as if a black mask has covered me whole and I start feeling suffocation even though I am in a well-ventilated room. That's not it, I start screaming and within that time period I feel as if somebody is beating me up and then if the lights are not turned on I become unconscious".

My story ends here but the dilemma remains with me wherever I go. Therapist cooperated with me and diagnosed two therapies, 'cognitive behavioural therapy' (CBT) and 'psychoanalytic therapy' that would help me in the long run to retain a normal, and balanced prevention against the disorders I possess.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

My therapist possessed a friendly attitude towards me and prior to put me into any therapy explained me some facts regarding therapy. Here is the summary, what he told: Coming largely from the information-processing models of psychopathology, CBT aims to change the beliefs, attitudes and expectancies underlying abnormal behaviour.
