What if healing didn’t begin with “fixing” yourself,
but with listening to yourself differently? 🌿

At Compassionate Curiosity India, we deeply believe that every emotion, response, and longing carries a story. Even the parts of us that feel “too much”, “too sensitive”, “too avoidant”, or “too difficult” are often trying to protect us in the ways they know how. 🫂

"All of Me" is an art-based group created by our amazing team member - Richa Choudhary to gently explore these inner worlds with curiosity, compassion, reflection, and connection through simple art based activities and reflections. 🎨🖌

No art skills/ prior knowledge are needed. Just show up as you are with some basic art materials! ✨

📍Register using the Link in our Bio or comment "All of Me" to recieve it in your DM! 🌈

This will be a closed group, so seats are available only on first come, first reserve basis.

We are looking forward to welcoming all parts of you! 🫶🏼

If there's something I've learnt about relationships through my work and lived experiences is none of this AUTOMATICALLY means presence of love! 🤷🏻‍♀️

In a world where most people are redefining what means to them through the ideas consumed on social media, it's easier to think that any relationship which is "going well and without any conflicts" on the surface is "healthy".

But are we noticing whether such absence of is...?
🍂 Avoidance of deeper emotions and things that have been bothering you for a while but you haven't voiced
🍂 Assumptions about the roles we are expected to play and responsibilities we carry in that relationship regardless of the treatment we recieve from others
🍂 Expectations about tolerating hurt/ pain because you're part of a social group (e.g., family, friends, etc.) for a "long time" now and certain people/ interactions are never questioned/ confronted about their patterns
🍂 Lack of recognition of power dynamics that exist in any relationship and what they're connected to (e.g., money, birth order, family position, intergenerational patterns/ trauma, etc.)
🍂 Fear of breakup/ divorce/ abandonment/ isolation if one speaks about these nuances which require accountability and long-term corrective actions

This list can go on...

Sometimes, what looks "peaceful" on the outside may actually be silence shaped by fear, exhaustion, conditioning, power dynamics or survival. And sometimes, healthy relationships may look “messy” because people are finally learning how to safely express their feelings, speak authentically, set boundaries, and take accountability. 🌻

If this resonated with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts! ✨️

Every superhero has an origin story. 🦸✨
Not just of strength - but of survival, tenderness, loss, courage, imagination, becoming and so much more... 🥹

Maybe, your superpower is empathy. 🫂
Maybe, it’s resilience. 💪🏼
Maybe, it’s learning to rest. 🏕
Maybe, it’s simply choosing to keep showing up. 🙌🏼

This edition of The Turtle Space invites you to imagine, create, and connect with the superhero within you - the one shaped by your lived experiences and your strengths. 🎨🌈

Well, for us, the cape is optional. But compassionate curiosity is a must. 😉💜

🪻 New Art-based Group Space Alert 🪻

There are moments when it feels like too many things are happening inside you at once - thoughts pulling you in different directions, emotions you can’t quite name, parts of you that don’t seem to agree.

This 6-week, -based facilitated by Richa Choudhary - our trauma-informed, art-based therapist at CCI, is a gentle space to slow down, notice your inner world, and begin understanding the different parts of you - at your own pace, with guided art based exercises.🖍🎨🖌

If something in you feels a quiet “hmm… maybe,” you’re most welcome here. 🌱

There’s so much we’re taught as therapists - how to hold space for deeper conversations, engage in active listening, use therapy-specific skills & resources, show up for others with care, compassion and still be rooted in ethics. 🌈

But somewhere along the way, gets left out of the conversation (because speaking about money as a "helping professional" is still considered a taboo at a lot of institutions🤦🏻‍♀️). 💵

No one really teaches us -
🌱 How to set sustainable fees…
🎢 How to navigate the variable income & seasons of private practice…
🎯 How to save, spend & invest with clearly set financial goals...
🏖️ How to take time off from work without worrying about finances…
🪴 Or how to build a practice that sustains us too.

And so, many of us end up figuring it out quietly, sometimes carrying confusion, guilt, or even shame around any conversations related to money. 😶

This workshop is a gentle space to deconstruct all of that - a space to understand your finances, learn to use practical financial tools, ask questions that have been brewing for a while, and build clarity - without judgment, pressure or overwhelm. ✨

If this feels like something you’ve been thinking about for a while, this is a warm invitation for you to join us for our upcoming workshop on , especially designed for therapists in India...

12 years ago, I walked into IIT Bombay as a young student (wondering what to choose - Arts or Science) to listen to the Former President of India & Scientist - Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Hearing him live was one of the biggest dreams I carried at the time. The inquisitive and ever curious teenager in me couldn't believe that this was actually happening as I walked into the campus! But the management had to restrict the number of attendees due to security concerns. Not going to lie - I was pretty disappointed. A few months after that, Dr. Kalam passed away and my dream only remained a dream. 😶

Years passed, I chose to study Arts, majored in Psychology and the life went on... 🍃

A few days ago, I received an invite from the IIT Bombay to speak about and as a Perinatal Mental Health therapist. (Umm, what? 🤯) It was an amazing opportunity to speak about the intersection of hormones, neurotransmitters and mental health (a fascinating blend of neurobiology and psychology) - something I deeply care for and love talking about! ✨ The young adult in me couldn't believe it! 😅

We had students from different branches of engineering, professors, counsellors and loved ones in the audience. As the panel discussion began, all I could do was marvel at how life takes unexpected turns... 🤌🏼

Not every dream we hold may come true. 💁🏻‍♀️
But somehow, life makes space for the ones we never even saw coming -
and they arrive in the most unexpected ways. 🥹✨

If you've been part of my journey so far and following for a while, I want to thank you! Thank you for staying with me along the way, for believing in our practice throughout all these years, for welcoming each of our team members and trusting this space. Whether we have interacted online or offline, each of you have shaped CCI in some way, and we are truly grateful for that! 💜🌈

With warmth & lots of hope,

In - A milestone that's close to my heart! 💜🌈🫶🏻✨️

Some parts of being a therapist are often visible to others...
The trainings we attend.
The degrees we hold.
The rooms we sit in. ✨️

Yet, some parts we carry as therapists are much quieter...
The doubts that pop up.
The back-and-forth that invariably happens.
The questions we carry beyond sessions.
The responsibility of holding someone’s story with tenderness. 🌱

Over the last 6 months, I’ve been re-learning how to hold space for these rather unnoticed aspects of being a therapist, while completing my Diploma in Supervision using Narrative Ideas and Practices designed by .baldiwala 🌈

And I'm excited to share that I'm now opening up a limited number of individual supervision slots for:
✨ Early-career therapists
✨ Mental health practitioners who are looking for collaborative, reflective, trauma-informed and q***r affirmative supervision 💚

For me, supervision is not about having the “right answers.” It is about curiosity, ethics, collaborative explorations, reflections, and making space for the many stories that come up in therapy - including the therapist’s. 🤗

If you’re looking for a gentle, reflective supervision space rooted in mutual care, respect and nuances, it would be my privilege to be a co-traveller in your journey as a therapist. ✨️

✨ What if your story could live on paper — bold, messy, honest, and entirely yours?

📚 Your Story Through Zine is not your usual art based workshop. It’s a space to slow down, get playful with colours, doodles, scraps, and memories — and turn them into a little book that holds you.

🎨 No art experience needed. Just bring your story (and your curiosity). Let’s cut, paste, draw, feel, and reflect together.

🕑 2 to 4.30 pm IST
