From all of us at The Grey Couch,
may your Diwali be filled with calm hearts, bright moments, and steady light. 🌙

As you celebrate, take a pause for yourself, to breathe, reflect, and honour your mental well-being.

Because light doesn’t just shine outside… it begins within. 💛

Sometimes life feels like a ride we can’t fully control, yet we still hold the wheel. 🚍
Take a moment and reflect… what could this really be about?

Language carries history, and often that history isn’t kind to women.
In India, our swear words, the everyday gallis — insult through a woman’s body, her sexuality, her motherhood. For generations, they have been used to assert dominance and remind women of their “place.”

But now, women use the same words, on cricket fields, in films, in everyday speech. It feels like power, like equality. Yet beneath that echo lies a paradox. When women use gallis born out of misogyny, are we reclaiming our voice or reinforcing the same system that built these slurs on us?

🛋️This is the grey we live in, where empowerment and patriarchy overlap, where rebellion sometimes borrows the language of oppression.

Mental health deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for — not just on October 10th, but every day that life challenges us to keep going. Being an upstander means choosing courage over silence, empathy over indifference, and action over observation. At The Grey Couch, we believe that every day is an opportunity to stand up for mental health — to remind one another that healing is possible, help is available, and no one has to walk alone.

Services provided by The Grey Couch include individual therapy, couple sessions, pre-marital counselling, counselling for cancer patients and their caregivers, trauma-focused therapy, psycho-oncology support, and psychiatric consultations. The Grey Couch stands as a space of warmth, understanding, and hope — always here to help you take that next step toward healing.

As we approach World Mental Health Day, let’s look beyond the surface of disaster relief.

The water and wind leave, but a silent, heavier storm begins: the guilt of being the one who was left.

Your home may be gone, but your heart is still carrying the crushing weight of that should-have-been-me feeling.

We talk about rebuilding bridges and roads, but we must also talk about rebuilding the minds shattered by loss. That inner voice is loud, but it is not the truth.

🛋️This carousel is a reminder that healing is a fundamental right. Don’t carry that specialized trauma alone. Finding a safe space is the first step in living a life that honors your survival.

When vulnerability feels risky, we learn to communicate in code.

Imagine this: Every time you hear a criticism, picture it with a giant neon sign underneath that actually says: “I need more connection.”

We react emotionally, lack the right words, or assume our partner should “just know”—and that’s when indirect communication takes over. The argument is never about the thing you’re arguing about. It’s about a lack of affection, security, or attention.

Stop guessing, start decoding. Let’s talk about the subtext of your relationships and learn to speak the language of true need. 💔➡️💡

Stop punishing yourself into health. 🚨

That extreme diet or punishing workout? Your brain sees it as a trap, not a lifestyle. The Quick Fix always fails.

Shift your focus to maintenance. True well-being is built on small, consistent habits: sleep, walking, breathing, balancing your meals.

Health is not about constant recovery. It’s about building a life you love to live.

What’s your one small step today?

Feeling guilty for taking a break? Let’s talk about toxic productivity. 😬

We live in a “highlight reel” culture where constant hustle is seen as the only path to worth. If you’re not doing, you feel like you’re failing. But this mindset is a direct road to burnout and neglected well-being.

Your worth is NOT defined by your output. Rest isn’t a reward you earn; it’s a necessary input for a healthy life. Take the nap. Read the book just for fun. You’re not a machine, you’re human.

📚The Harvard Study on Adult Development has been running for more than 85 years, making it the longest study on happiness in the world. 🛋️💭

When it began in 1938, it reflected the biases of its time: only men were studied, including Harvard sophomores and boys from inner-city Boston. Decades later, as science grew more inclusive, researchers expanded the project to include the wives and partners of these men, and eventually their children. This gave us a fuller picture of how relationships shape health and happiness across generations.

The findings remain consistent: it is not wealth, fame, or even genes that determine a fulfilling life. It is the strength of our close relationships. Psychiatrist George Vaillant summed it up best: ‘The key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.’ 🫂

The research showed that close ties protect us from life’s discontents, delay mental and physical decline, and are far better predictors of long and happy lives than social class or IQ.

🛋️At The Grey Couch, we believe therapy is a space to nurture these meaningful connections with others and with yourself. Because science proves what we deeply feel: relationships heal, protect, and give life its deepest joy.
