Cool
The whole idea of visiting a ‘therapist’ instead of a ‘psychiatrist’ is so reassuring! Sometimes to feel that therapy can cure some seemingly complex issues of the mind makes one feel a little more in their comfort zone as these sessions can either be one to one or group lessons where you interact with fellow humans going through the same travails! The fight is not your alone. There are many others travelling in the same boat trying to reach safe shores. Wonderfully put by Aneeta Sundararaj. Also the sense of calm in her voice was soothing to the listener.
Totally total! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Looking forward to the next video. Many smiles and much metta.
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you, this is not only wonderful but also totally total! "Others abide our judgement; thou art free." I hope the neighbours are inspired by your example. Many smiles and much metta. 😍😍😍😍😍
