Have you ever experienced oneness of your Conscious and Sub-conscious Mind? Experience the Un-experienced... She knew it all.

Our grandparents always exclaim that life was simpler in "their days"! How much power that 1 rupee had and how much simpler the relations were. Families lived together, dinned together and hence there was always a very reliable agony aunt present in almost all the households who would provide people with solutions from what is to be cooked for dinner, to relationship management, to the property issue, to marriage. As times passed by people started working outside their family businesses and multiplying the numbers of nuclear families. It provided the much needed independence to the young couples to build their life on their own, it also meant that questions like what to cook for dinner also added to the stress in life. In today's age people are constantly running in search of the illusive happiness but in the end all they get is the burden of stress and anxiety. The bond and trust between two humans is so weak that they can't even pour their heart out in front of a friend with the fear of making them vulnerable and emotionally independent on others. With the growth of social networking, the mind constantly looks forward to be appreciated from strangers for their thoughts and life, if a particular picture does not generate enough like, we get worried about our skin and fats! We rush to a spa to rejuvenate ourselves. But do we ever think about rejuvenating our mind and subconscious, which we have turned into a pressure cooker, with no whistle to blow off the stress and pressure created? We at Psych Spa give a makeover to your subconscious. We help you relieve your stress and feel light. We listen what your friends hear, and you not even feel vulnerable. Are you dealing with issues about your marriage, relation with your parents, peer pressure, equation with your boss, or just cannot deal with your emotions, confused with many things, unable to take decision, lost yourself...........? Than you might just like to drop in and allow us to relieve your stress and rejuvenate your mind and soul.

Turns out, even therapists don’t always know what to do next.

When your patient flow slows down, you’d think a therapist would use the extra time to rest.
Apparently, mine decided to overthink her own life instead. 😜

A short three-day trip home for Rakshabandhan gave me exactly what I needed—time with my parents, my brother, and that deeply fulfilling feeling of being back where I come from.

Then I returned to my "KarmaBhumi."

Almost three years into an organisation I’ve genuinely enjoyed working in, I’m still deeply passionate about being a psychologist and psychotherapist.

But somewhere between sessions and self-reflection, a thought started getting louder:
“What if I went back to my Janmabhumi?”
Is there an opportunity there?
Will it align with what I love doing?
Will it pay me well?
And then came the real question:

“Am I ready?”

Honestly?
I think I know the answers.
I’m just not ready to act on them yet.
And maybe that’s not a bad thing.

No impulsive decisions.
No dramatic “I quit!” announcement. 😂
Just quietly preparing myself—one thought, one possibility, one baby step at a time.

Because one of the most beautiful things therapy teaches you is this:
Confusion isn’t always a dead end.
Sometimes, it’s the mind finding its way to an answer.

And once you know the answer, you don't necessarily need a giant leap.
You just need enough courage to take the next small step.

Maybe I’m not ready yet.

But I’m getting ready.

And sometimes, that’s where the real change begins.

Recently, a patient showed me their routine.

It was perfect.

Work. Exercise. Sleep. Personal time. Hobbies. Everything had its place.

I looked at it and said,
“There’s nothing wrong with this plan.”
Then I asked:
“How long can you actually follow it?”
Patient replied: “15 days. Max.”
"Exactly." I said

This is something I see often in therapy.
People want change quickly. Relief quickly. Transformation quickly.

But psychotherapy doesn't work like ordering a service.

You can consult the best civil engineer, but the building still needs time to be built.
The mind is no different.
A perfect routine can look great on paper while your mind is quietly saying,
“Absolutely not.”

Fifteen days may be enough to influence your body clock.
But the mind has its own timing.
What it needs first is "consistency", not perfection.

So I often suggest:
Build a routine you can actually live with.
Start with the basics.
Follow it consistently.
Then slowly upgrade it towards the routine you "think" you should be following.

Because the goal isn't to create a perfect routine.

It's to create one your mind doesn't rebel against.

Basic first. Perfect later.

"But... I had already told you."

No shouting.
No abuse.
No drama.

Yet my client walked into therapy mentally exhausted.

Recently married through an arranged marriage, they described a partner who was caring, responsible... and incredibly difficult to communicate with.

"I feel responsible for things I never agreed to."

"Every conversation leaves me feeling misunderstood."

Then came the sentence that explained everything.

"Before marriage, my partner had sent me a document listing all the roles and responsibilities. Every time I question something, the answer is — 'It was already mentioned in the document.'"

A document.

Not a conversation.
A document.

It instantly reminded me of something I learnt during my hypnotic psychotherapy training.

Some people communicate "literally."

Others communicate 'figuratively."

Tell a literal communicator,
"Please put the milk in the fridge."

The milk goes into the fridge.

Mission accomplished.

Tell the same thing to a figurative communicator...

The milk, curd, butter, leftovers — everything that belongs in the fridge ends up there.

Neither person is wrong.

They're simply following two different operating systems.

When I explained this, my client smiled.

"I think I finally understand my partner."

That moment wasn't about solving the marriage.

It was about understanding the language behind the conflict.

Sometimes, love isn't the missing piece.

Translation is.

So before proving your point...

Ask yourself:

"Am I explaining what I mean or assuming they'll hear what I meant?"

Sometimes, the healthiest relationships aren't built by finding better partners.

They're built by learning each other's instruction manual.

Do you know, Therapists have patterns too.
Ours just happen to involve breaking everyone else's. Most days, my work looks predictable.
Someone walks in with anxiety, fear, anger, guilt, heartbreak, overthinking... the usual gang. We untangle emotions, challenge irrational beliefs, sprinkle in some REBT, a few other therapeutic tools, and slowly help logic find its way back into the room.

That's the rhythm.

Then came "that" client.
Exceptionally rational.
Life was beautifully organised into two folders: "Right" and "Wrong."

Their biggest frustration?
"Why don't people just use common sense?"
I have to admit... there were moments when I wanted to applaud. 😄

But therapy has terrible timing.
Just when you think you've found your favourite client, it hands you homework.

This wasn't someone drowning in emotions.
This was someone avoiding them with remarkable efficiency.
For the first time in a while, my job flipped.
I wasn't helping someone become more rational.
I was gently encouraging them to become, a little less obsessed with it.
Because life doesn't always arrive with bullet points.
Relationships don't follow flowcharts.
Love refuses spreadsheets.
And people, unfortunately, never read the instruction manual.

Somewhere in our conversations, another theme quietly emerged.
Every emotional compromise felt like a threat to their self-respect.
Or was it?
Therapy has a way of asking inconvenient questions.
What if it wasn't self-respect?
What if it was ego wearing a very respectable outfit?
It's surprisingly easy to confuse the two.
One protects your values.
The other protects your need to be right.
The difference is subtle.
The outcome isn't.
One creates connection.
The other quietly steals joy, playfulness, intimacy and peace.

That client reminded me of something every therapist should remember.
The day you think you've understood the human mind...
..someone walks in and politely proves you haven't.

And honestly?
That's one of the best parts of this profession.
Because therapy isn't about having all the answers.
It's about staying curious enough to discover a new question.
Every single time.

Some mornings quietly remind you why you chose this profession.

It was a regular day at work.

As I walked into my cabin, I noticed a sealed envelope lying on my table. It had arrived from overseas. For a moment I wondered, "Who sent this? What could it be?" But my first session was about to begin, so I placed it aside and got ready for the day.

After the session, curiosity won.
I turned the envelope over, saw the sender's name, and instantly remembered.
It was from a patient I had worked with a few months ago.
Inside was a handwritten thank-you note.

As I read it, I found myself smiling.

The letter spoke about how small shifts in perspective had changed the course of life. How self-sabotaging thoughts had slowly started losing their grip. How conversations we once had were being practiced, one step at a time.
It was one of those moments that stays with you.

Before I could gather myself, another patient walked in.
"Ma'am, I won't take much of your time," she said. "Because of our sessions, I felt motivated enough to restart painting. I made this Madhubani artwork for you. Thank you."

I smiled and replied,
"It wasn't me. It was your courage to take action."

As therapists, we meet countless people.
We witness pain, uncertainty, fear, hope, and growth.

But every once in a while, someone returns, not because they need another session, but because they wanted to say, "I'm doing better."
Those moments quietly refill our own emotional reserves.

Many people tell me,
"We've been to several therapists. Everyone listens, but no one tells us what to do."
In my current practice, I have a very limited window, sometimes just 10 to 14 days with a client. We usually fit in only a couple of sessions.
Honestly, two sessions are nowhere near enough.
We haven't even scratched the surface.
But if those sessions can help someone leave with one meaningful insight, one practical step, or one reason to believe change is possible — that's where the work begins.

I always encourage my patients to continue therapy beyond those sessions.
Because healing is never completed in two conversations.
Sometimes, all we can do is help someone take the first step.
The rest of the journey belo

"I think too much."

"I overthink everything."

"My mind never switches off."

"Even when I sleep... my mind keeps running."

These are some of the most common sentences I hear in my therapy room.

And then comes the question...

"How do I stop overthinking?"

I wish there were a magic switch.

There isn't.

Here's what I do know.

Overthinking rarely stays in the present.

It either keeps replaying the past...

or keeps predicting the future.

While your mind is travelling between what happened and what if...

life quietly moves on...

So, instead of asking,

"How do I stop overthinking?"

Ask yourself:

What am I overthinking about?

When does it usually begin?

After a conversation?
Before bed?
While you're alone?
At work?
When you're scrolling?

Because awareness is where change begins.

Then practise coming back to the present.

Not for an hour.

Just for one moment.

The next time you eat...

Notice the colours on your plate.

The aroma.

The texture.

The first bite.

The flavours.

How many times you chew.

For those few minutes...

there is no past.

There is no future.

Just this moment.

And that's exactly how mindfulness works.

Every mindful moment interrupts the cycle of overthinking.

She came to me with chronic back pain, neck pain, and fibromyalgia. Despite physiotherapy, acupuncture, and massages, the pain never truly left.

As her story unfolded, so did the pain beneath the pain.
She spoke of an early arranged marriage, dreams of building a family, and a husband who gradually withdrew into depression and alcohol. Over the years, she became the provider, the caregiver, and the emotional pillar for their daughter, while living beside someone who was physically present but emotionally absent.

A few years ago, she moved back to her hometown, hoping to finally feel supported. Her parents welcomed her, but old wounds resurfaced with her siblings.

Since childhood, she had questioned why she wasn't treated equally. Feeling overlooked because she was a daughter quietly shaped a fiercely independent, rebellious personality one that learned to fight, endure, and carry more than its share.

Years of loneliness, emotional responsibility, financial pressure, and isolation slowly accumulated. Her world became smaller, while the weight she carried became heavier.
Sometimes, the body speaks what the heart has been forced to silence.

Not every chronic pain begins in the body. Sometimes, it's the story we've been carrying for years.

There is one thing I have noticed after meeting people across every stage of life.

Teenagers experiencing their first love.
Couples choosing to live together.
Newly married partners.
Parents raising children.
And couples who have spent over fifty years side by side.
Their stories are different.
Their struggles are different.
But deep down, they all long for the same thing.
To have a companion.
Someone who makes them feel loved.
Someone who truly listens.
Someone who understands without judgment.
Someone who sees them, appreciates them, and reminds them that they matter.

Many people ask me,
Shouldn't love be unconditional?
My answer is both "No" and "Yes".

In the beginning, every relationship is, in some way, transactional.
Not because people are selfish, but because love is still learning its language.
You care for me.
I care for you.
You show up for me.
I show up for you.
Through these small exchanges, trust is built.
Safety is created.
Love slowly finds its roots.

And then something beautiful happens.
As the years pass, love becomes less about keeping score.
Forgiveness comes easier.
Acceptance grows deeper.
The need to be right slowly gives way to the desire to protect the relationship.

That is where unconditional love quietly begins - not at the start, but after years of choosing each other.
Yet this is also where many relationships begin to struggle.
Life changes.
Responsibilities increase.
One partner continues giving, while the other slowly becomes accustomed to receiving.
Not intentionally.
Just gradually.

Somewhere along the way, one person starts feeling invisible.
"I don't feel heard anymore."
"I don't feel appreciated."
"I don't feel like a priority."
Love doesn't usually disappear overnight.
It fades in the silence between two people who stopped expressing what they need.

Relationships are not sustained by grand gestures.
They are sustained by countless small moments of showing up for one another.
Keep asking,
"How are you, really?"
Keep expressing your needs.
Keep listening to your partner's needs.
Keep choosing each other, even after the excitement settles.

Because lasting love isn't found.
It's built.
Every single day.
