Empowering parents, shaping futures! One small step at a time 👣

When we understand, we can guide. When we guide, we can heal ❤️‍🩹

I am thrilled to facilitate a Substance Use Awareness session for parents for the Neha Lulla Foundation. Together, we're breaking barriers and building a safer tomorrow for our youth.
The engagement and dedication shown by these parents are truly inspiring as we strive to make a positive change in our community. Understanding is the first step towards guiding and healing, and it's heartwarming to witness their commitment to being better-informed guides for their children.

🌼 Do you resonate with any of these? 🌼
Leave a comment with your thoughts...
2022 was a toughie for me. Looking back, I find it hard to identify a big win for myself. Yet, I take these learnings along into 2023. Some were bitter to accept, some a lot easier. Do you resonate with any of these?

I will always remember the words of one of the guest speakers, "Acceptance is not enough. Affirming is more important". The Q***r Affirmative Counselling Practice Course (QACP) was a unique experience that turned my understanding of the society we live in upside down. It made me aware, reflect, question, and realize how privileged I am & how marginalization is a part of every sphere of our lives. Being accepting is one thing, but holding space and affirming for those at the margins, that's what actually counts.

With this course, I feel a lot more equipped to be a q***r affirmative therapist, to provide space and affirm the lived experiences of the q***r folx in particular, and provide for a space that is affirming for everyone.

Mariwala Health Initiative , thank you for providing this training to us, and a special and heartfelt gratitude to my trainers, Shruti , Pooja and Gauri for being who they are and providing us with 'real' information. The information that actually matters.

To taking one small step ahead of another, Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 & let us ALWAYS LEAD WITH LOVE ❤️

Save this post for a reminder to UNLEARN 🌸
These beliefs are rather common and involve varied early childhood experiences and socilaization processes. Be gentle with yourself, be conscious of your own self beliefs and create change FOR YOURSELF.

Where can one begin to find a therapist? ⬆️
In my personal practice, most clients reach out for mental health support when the 's**t hits the fan' (pardon the language, but its the best way to describe it). In that situation and mental space, they do what has become instictual to most of us- GOOGLE IT.
But, in this situation, Google DOES NOT have the correct answer 🤯
Hence, reach out to the correct sources, DO NOT rely on social media profiles or presence alone, and then MAKE THAT CALL 📞
Trust me, its worth it.

FIKA: the key to at work
🏵️The Sweden concept of taking a break, craching up with your colleagues and friends over a cup of coffee qnd a slice of cake. It need not even involve drinking or eating is all about 'simply taking a pause'.
A simple act but an important one.
🏵️How does it help?
- increases productivity
- better communication and collaboration
- increases cretaivity
- easy problem- solving
- faster decision making

🏵️Research has also shown that Swedish employees are less stressed wnd take about 2 to 3 fika breaks a day.

So, should we start a petition to at your workplace?

"What do you even do in therapy? I would rather just talk to my friends."
How often have we all heard this around us?
Therapy involves alot of 'unpacking': identifying emotions and responses to events/situations/ people in our lives and processing them within a safe relationship with a trained professional.
Therapy essentially allows us to look inwards and deeper into the how, what, why of our lived experiences.
