PsychSpa 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 is

sue, 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.

This week has been intense.

I sat with people who no longer wished for death, but simply wanted their suffering to end.

A young girl, bright, talented, artistic - fighting voices in her head, sudden mood swings, and the loneliness of being misunderstood. The shame of being seen as "different" became heavier than the illness itself.

A woman - wife, mother, survivor. Carrying wounds that began in childhood and continued through marriage. Years of neglect, violence, rejection, and disappointment had slowly exhausted her spirit.

Different stories. Different lives.

Yet the same question echoed beneath both:

"How much longer do I have to keep fighting?"

In moments like these, telling someone "Everything will be fine" often falls flat. They know their struggle. They have lived it for years.

What helps more is:

"I'm here. We will face this together."

Sometimes hope doesn't arrive as a promise that life will improve. Sometimes hope arrives as a person who stays.

As I listened to these stories, I felt immense gratitude. There were moments in my own life when I felt tired, hopeless, and uncertain. But I was blessed with guidance, grace, and support. I kept moving forward, and life eventually responded.

Not everyone needs advice.

Sometimes they simply need someone who refuses to leave while they are fighting their darkest battles.

There are days when even in therapy, chaos exists.
You’re fully blocked. Back-to-back sessions.
You feel everything is running so fast around you, and you’re standing still.
There’s a chaos outside.
There’s a chaos inside.
And in between all of this, a client walks in.
Young. Brilliant. Talented. Sharp. An entrepreneur.
As I listened to the emotional imbalance in her life, empathized, validated, and helped her understand the process of emotional imbalance to truly process it. Something unexpected happened in that process.

I found my calm within the chaos.

What stayed with me was not just her struggle, but her strength.

She had been a key person in her own business for years - intelligent, dedicated, consistent - yet her work and efforts were being subtly ignored. Still, she kept showing up. Smart-work, discipline, and a clear goal in her head had helped her climb the ladder of success.
But somewhere in that climb, personal life and family life were unintentionally sidelined.
Distance did not happen overnight. It grew slowly. Quietly. Until emotional insecurity became impossible to ignore. That is where the deeper realization emerged:
Personal and professional lives are deeply interlinked. One inevitably impacts the other.
What I found inspiring was her willingness to reflect honestly despite carrying so much responsibility. What truly sparked hope was watching the shift happen after a couple of sessions: clarity, confidence, emotional insight.
It was a quick transition, but not surprising. Intelligent minds often respond fast once they feel emotionally safe enough to pause and see clearly.
Some sessions drain you.
Some sessions ground you.
And sometimes, clients unknowingly remind therapists why this work matters.

There are weeks in therapy where clients speak.
Then there are weeks where life quietly becomes the therapist.
This week felt deeply personal. Reflective. Heavy in places I had ignored for too long.
I found myself thinking about relationships that slowly become emotionally exhausting - the kind where you keep trying to communicate, explain, adjust, forgive - only to be misunderstood again and again.
Sometimes we hold on because the relationship matters more to us than our own emotional comfort.

So we tolerate Blame.
Disrespect.
Emotional confusion.

we keep hoping that if we try one more time, things will change.
But some people are not listening to understand you.
They are listening to protect their own version of themselves.
And one day, something within you quietly reaches its limit.
You stop over-explaining.
You stop chasing.
You stop carrying the emotional weight of a relationship that only survives on your effort.
What surprised me most was how the body responds when the mind finally lets go.
The chest feels lighter.
The shoulders relax.
The constant mental noise fades.
It’s almost an “Ahha…!” moment.
A return to yourself.
Strangely, that is often when people come back - with guilt, emotional persuasion, promises, or dramatic affection.
But healing sometimes means - not responding. Not every relationship deserves unlimited access to your peace.
My therapist once reminded me:
“You are not a doormat.”
That sentence stayed with me.
This experience also deepened my work as a therapist. Because when clients speak about similar emotional patterns, I don’t just understand it clinically - I understand the emotional weight of it too.
Healing is difficult.
But it is possible.
Taking a step back.
Speaking to a therapist.
Leaning on trusted friends.
Allowing logic to support emotions instead of being ruled by them.
It takes courage. Tremendous courage.
But peace begins the moment you stop abandoning yourself to keep someone else comfortable.
And perhaps that was my biggest reflection this week:
our personal experiences, when processed with awareness, can quietly become compassion in the therapy room.
Healing's been about returning to yourself- gently & honestly.

Some weeks in therapy feel emotionally heavier than others.
This week, I met several returning clients — people I had worked with months ago, some even last year. There is something deeply meaningful about seeing someone come back, not from helplessness, but from growth.

They return with a different posture.
A softer voice.
More awareness.
And sometimes with a new layer of themselves they are finally ready to face.
What stood out in almost every session this week was one common emotion:

Fear.

Not a loud fear.
Not dramatic fear.
But the quiet kind.
The fear of falling sick.
The fear of not being enough.
The fear of losing relationships.
The fear of failure.
The fear of becoming the version of themselves they secretly judge.
And underneath many of these fears was guilt.

What therapy often reveals is that fear is not always the enemy.
Sometimes fear is simply the mind trying too hard to protect us.

But when fear goes unexamined, it slowly begins to shape our decisions, confidence, self-esteem, health, work, and relationships.

One small exercise I often suggest is:
List your fears honestly.
Then ask yourself:
“Is this happening right now?”
“Or is my mind preparing me for something that hasn’t happened yet?”
There is a difference between a real threat and an imagined one.
But emotionally, both can feel equally exhausting.

Then comes the most important question:
“What is within my control at this moment?”
If something can be done — take action.
If nothing can be done immediately — pause instead of spiraling.

Not every thought deserves panic.
Not every fear deserves authority.

One thing I continue to learn as a therapist is this:
Helping someone work through fear requires enormous patience, because cognitive shifts don’t happen in one conversation. Healing happens when the mind slowly learns that uncertainty does not always mean danger.
And sometimes… that learning changes a person’s entire life.

This month, even while I wasn’t at my best physically, I found myself showing up - 97 sessions, 97 spaces held. Somewhere between fatigue and fulfillment, I paused and felt proud.
This week, two young women walked into my therapy room. Same age, different worlds.
One came from a patriarchal setup - familiar, almost expected. She carried the weight of proving herself: capable, reliable, “good enough” to be seen and trusted. Every step forward felt like it needed validation.
The other came from a matrilineal society - where, on paper, women hold power, legacy, and identity. And yet, her story echoed something strikingly similar. Despite the structure favoring her, her voice was still questioned. Her leadership, resisted. Her choices, quietly controlled.
Two opposite systems. One shared reality.
Pressure.
Silencing.
The constant need to prove worth.
It made me sit with a question that lingers beyond sessions:
Who really defines what a woman should be? Because whether power is given or taken away, the expectation remains the same: to justify, to earn, to validate your existence.
As a therapist, I witness this quiet exhaustion often. The courage it takes for women to carve their own path and the criticism that follows when they do. Maybe the problem isn’t just the system. Maybe it’s the rigidity of norms that forget the individual.
What if growth didn’t come at the cost of suppression?
What if strength didn’t require constant proof?
What if… a woman simply being was enough?

Some pauses don’t come from choice.
They come when your body simply says, “enough.”
A few days ago, I was down with a viral fever, and it was very difficult to think about anything. No overanalysis, no emotional bandwidth, no pushing through. Just stillness. In that stillness, one thought became very clear:
my body needs rest, my mind needs rest.
Sometimes, sickness becomes a reminder - don’t do anything - just be.
And then like all of us do, I returned, Back to work. Back with force, energy, presence.
But this time, I was more aware.
Sitting in sessions, listening to people talk about their trauma, grief, pain & struggles - I found myself reflecting more deeply. As therapists, we witness a lot. Emotions that are intense, stories that stay with you, resilience that humbles you.
And yes… sometimes, it brushes your shoulders too.
Because absorbing everything is intense.
So we learn to hold, not absorb.
To stay empathetic, yet grounded.
To offer support, perspective, techniques, be it CBT, NLP, metaphors, or hypnotherapy, and sometimes, just our presence.
But let’s be honest for a moment.
When you hear, “You’re a psychologist, you must know everything”— there’s a quiet pause within.
Because we don’t.
We are human beings first.
We have our own emotions, our own personal lives, our own ups and downs. And at the same time, we carry the responsibility to ensure that our inner world doesn’t reflect in the therapy space we hold for others.
That balance takes work.
It takes awareness.
It takes honesty.
And that’s exactly where something important shifted for me — Therapists need therapy too.
We need spaces where we can talk, process, and just be. Through self-reflection, through conversations with mentors and colleagues, or by sitting across another therapist and allowing ourselves to receive.
There may be resistance & hesitation.
But awareness is the sign.
Maybe that’s the moment to listen.
Because the truth is — the moment you start noticing the weight, is the moment you’re no longer meant to carry it alone.
Not later. Not when it gets worse.
Right then.
That’s not a weakness.
That’s your cue.
Your cue to step out of the chair…
and sit on the other side of the room

It had been one of those weeks, the kind that leaves you carrying other people’s emotions long after the sessions end. In between appointments, I found myself pausing - just to breathe & reflect. Because somewhere in listening to others, you quietly begin to hear yourself too.
And, it happened again, that familiar question from a client: “Am I the only one like this?”
There’s always a subtle shift in the room when I say, “No, you’re not alone.”
Almost instantly, I see it - the shoulders drop, the breath softens, the weight lifts.
Even if just a little. That realization, that I’m not the only one, dissolves a piece of their pain.
It creates space.
Space for honesty.
Space for deeper healing.
Then come the tears.
Tears that have waited too long. Tears that carry words never spoken. Tears that don’t ask for permission.
But what strikes me every time, is what follows:
“I’m sorry.”
Sorry? For feeling? For being human?
In those moments, I gently wonder, what taught us to apologize for our own release? Because crying isn’t weakness. It’s expression. It’s the body’s way of saying, “I can’t hold this anymore.”
And as a therapist, there’s nothing more meaningful than witnessing that moment, when someone allows themselves to be seen, fully and vulnerably.
So if you ever find yourself there, sitting across from someone who holds space for you, Don’t say sorry for your tears. They’re not an interruption. Rmember this:

"Being real is more powerful than being okay."

A new client walked in and said,
“I don’t feel happy and I think I’m passing my trauma to my child.”
I listened, then gently asked where she’d like to begin. Instead, she paused and asked, “Do I really need counseling?”
I shared that based on what she expressed, emotional distress, unresolved experiences, and self-doubt, counseling could help. Not just in crisis, but in understanding oneself better.
She looked at me, said “Thank you,” and walked out. It made me reflect: people don’t resist counseling; they resist what it might reveal.
Not every client stays, but every honest conversation leaves a trace.

& I'm vibrant..
The general understanding of a Psychologist is that they're calm and mature looking, but let me tell you I laugh out loud, I party, I dance, I dress up in different styles and vibrant colors. What keeps me high at energy even at the end of the day is, I make sure to crack jokes, have a positive attitude towards everyone around and most importantly I'm thankful for wherever I am who I am...
