How well do we really know a person?
The side they show us is only one piece of who they are.
There are feelings they dont show, experiences we never witnessed, and parts of their story we may never know.

*A person is always more than what we see.*
And sometimes, understanding begins with remembering that.

At Reflect Within’s 32nd CPE, “Introduction to Psychodrama,” we had the privilege of learning from Dr Amitabh Ghosh through an engaging and experiential two-hour workshop that offered psychologists an introduction to the therapeutic world of psychodrama.
The session began with an introduction round and interactive icebreakers, followed by an exploration of how psychodrama brings interpersonal experiences and significant life events into the therapeutic space. Dr. Ghosh also introduced psychologists to the neurobiology behind psychodrama through experiential activities, making complex theoretical concepts easier to understand and connect with.
The session further explored how psychodramatists recreate significant events from clients’ lives, allowing psychologists to understand and experience the therapeutic process more meaningfully. Through experiential dramas, psychologists were able to observe how psychodrama can be used to explore emotions, relationships, past experiences, and different perspectives in therapy.
What made the session particularly exciting was the opportunity to experience rather than simply learn about psychodrama. It was both enthusiastic and fun to explore a therapeutic intervention that can initially seem complex, and to see how experiential learning can bring therapeutic concepts to life. The session also offered valuable insights into the potential application of psychodrama in working with trauma, emotional experiences, interpersonal relationships, and unresolved life experiences.
This CPE was a wonderful opportunity to move beyond theory and experience how psychodrama can facilitate insight, emotional expression, perspective-taking, and therapeutic exploration.
We are grateful to Dr. Amitabh Ghosh for sharing his expertise and facilitating such an engaging and experiential learning experience.

At Reflect Within’s 31st CPE, **“When Sleep Goes Wrong: Identifying and Managing Childhood Sleep Difficulties,”** we had the privilege of learning from Dr. Albert Nellissery, who provided an insightful understanding of sleep difficulties across the lifespan. With **25+ mental health professionals participating**, the session offered a valuable platform for shared learning and clinical discussion.

The session explored different types of sleep disorders through engaging case studies, highlighting how sleep difficulties can emerge in childhood and continue into adulthood. Dr. Nellissery also discussed the neurobiological underpinnings and clinical features associated with various sleep disorders, emphasising the importance of understanding sleep within a broader developmental and clinical context. The session further focused on approaches to screening and identifying sleep disorders to support timely intervention.

Participants were introduced to evidence-based interventions including sleep hygiene, sleep restriction therapy, light therapy, and chronotherapy. The case-based discussions helped bridge theoretical knowledge with practical clinical application, making the session particularly relevant for mental health professionals.

We are grateful to Dr. Albert Nellissery for sharing his expertise and to all the professionals who participated and continue to engage in learning opportunities that strengthen evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate psychological practice.

At Reflect Within's 30th Continuous Psychological Education Programme, "Filtered Reality, Hidden Struggles: Understanding Eating Disorders, Body Image & Social Media Impact," we had the privilege of learning from Dr. Abhishek Choudhary, who provided a comprehensive understanding of the eating disorders and their increasing relevance in today's digital world.

The session offered rich insights into:
- The neurobiological underpinnings of eating disorders
- The different types of eating disorders and their clinical presentations
- The heightened vulnerability among adolescents and young adults
- The role of medications in treatment
- The relationship between eating disorders and addiction
- The profound influence of social media and the social media echo chambers
- Case discussions that connected theoretical concepts with real-world clinical practice.

What made this session particularly thought-provoking was the reminder that eating disorders extend far beyond food and body image. They arise from a complex interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors, making early recognition, compassionate intervention, and media literacy essential components of prevention and recovery.

We remain grateful to Dr. Abhishek Choudhary for sharing his expertise and clinical insights, and to all the mental health professionals who continue to engage in learning opportunities that strengthen evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate psychological practice.

At Reflect Within’s 29th Continuous Psychological Education (CPE) Programme, “Career
Counselling in Practice: Assessment, Interpretation & Career Recommendations,” we
had the privilege of learning from, who guided us through the practical and ethical
dimensions of evidence-based career counselling.
The session explored the importance of conducting holistic assessments through
socio-demographic profiling, understanding family and educational influences, behavioural
observations, interest mapping, personality assessment, aptitude and ability testing, as well
as intelligence assessment and vocational profiling. We also reflected on working with
neurodivergent individuals through a strength-based lens, identifying accommodations,
adaptive functioning, assistive technologies, and inclusive career pathways.
What made this session particularly enriching was the reminder that career counselling is not
merely about recommendations, it is about understanding the person in context, recognising
strengths beyond scores, and helping individuals move toward meaningful and sustainable
life paths with sensitivity and insight.
We remain grateful to Ms. Janvi Parekh for sharing her expertise and practical knowledge, and to
all the professionals who continue to engage in learning spaces that strengthen ethical,
inclusive, and informed psychological practice. 🌱

At Reflect Within's 28th Continuous Psychological Education (CPE) Programme, "When Therapy Isn't Working: Recognising Medical Contributors to Psychological Symptoms," we had the privilege of learning from, whose insights encouraged a more integrative and holistic understanding of mental health.

The session explored the significance of basic medical evaluations and the role of factors such as anemia, Vitamin B12 deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal fluctuations, menstrual health, sleep disturbances, and psychosomatic presentations in psychological functioning. Discussions also focused on the relationship between emotional experiences and physical conditions including gastrointestinal concerns, skin conditions, asthma, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic pain, and cardiac health.

We further reflected on somatic symptoms, illness anxiety, sleep debt, sleep apnea, recurrent dreams, body image concerns, and the psychological impact of medical diagnoses and procedures. The session highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary referrals, detailed history taking, contextual understanding, and recognising when symptoms may require medical attention alongside psychological intervention.

What made this session especially valuable was the reminder that effective therapeutic work often requires clinicians to remain curious, collaborative and mindful of the complex interaction between mind and body, particularly when therapy appears "stuck" or when symptoms persist despite intervention.

We remain grateful to Dr Avinash De Sousa De Sousa for sharing his knowledge and clinical insights, and to all the professionals who continue to engage in reflective and interdisciplinary learning spaces that strengthen ethical and holistic mental health care.

Sexual behaviour in children and adolescents is one of the most sensitive and complex areas school counselors and psychologists encounter — often leaving professionals balancing developmental understanding, ethical responsibility, and the need to ensure safety. At Reflect Within’s 26th Continuous Psychological Education (CPE) Programme, “Handling Sexual Behavior in Schools: From Normal Curiosity to Concerning Patterns – What Can a Counselor Do?”, we had the privilege of learning from Dr. Mansi Jain, Child Psychiatry specialist and Co-founder of Manarogya Psychiatry Clinic, Mumbai. Drawing from over a decade of clinical experience, fellowship training at TNMC & BYL Nair Hospital, and expertise inmedicolegal systems, she helped us understand the continuum of sexual development - from normative curiosity and exploration to behaviours that may signal distress, exposure, or deeper psychological concerns.

What made this session particularly meaningful was the reminder that our role goes beyond categorizing behaviours as “normal” or “problematic.” It is about understanding the child’s context, responding with sensitivity, upholding ethical and legal responsibilities, and creating spaces where children feel safe, supported, and guided. We reflected on confidentiality with minors, mandatory reporting, the impact of digital exposure, gender and identity exploration, and the importance of managing our own emotional responses as clinicians. We remain deeply grateful to Dr. Mansi for her generosity in sharing her expertise, and to the community of professionals committed to learning, unlearning, and showing up for children with compassion and responsibility. 🌱

Many of us hold back from helping someone who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts because we’re afraid we won’t find the right words. But the truth is, you don’t always need the perfect words. Gently checking in, encouraging them to seek support, or simply sitting beside them in silence can mean more than you realize.

On , let’s remember, your presence, patience, and care can be the reason someone chooses to stay. 🌼
