Rahul Saxena, a 32-year-old software engineer...
Rahul Saxena, a 32-year-old software engineer from a traditional Indian family, had always been the high-achieving 'golden child'. After a promotion to a management role six months ago, he began experiencing relentless insomnia, constant stomach aches, and a pervasive sense of dread. He felt like an 'imposter' at work and was terrified of disappointing his parents. His primary care physician, noting Rahul's physical symptoms had no clear medical cause and his low mood, recommended psychiatric counseling. Initially skeptical, Rahul agreed to see Dr. Mehta. In their sessions, he slowly unpacked the immense pressure he'd carried since childhood, the need to be perfect. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), he learned to identify and challenge his catastrophic thoughts. Post-treatment, Rahul negotiated a phased return to his technical track at work, which felt more authentic. He now practices mindfulness daily and has set boundaries with his family. Emotionally, he moved from a state of constant, silent panic to one of self-compassion, realizing his worth isn't tied to his job title.
