Therapy adds a spring to our steps towards recovery :) So let's try to understand it better..Whether you have already benefitted from therapy, or not yet, or never even tried it, this talk is for you!
Manisha Sharma is an experienced counselling psychologist, with a masters in clinical psychology and training in CBT, hypnosis and other modules. She is currently working full-time in a leading organisation, for creating robust wellness models for content moderators. [She has also counselled me :) ]
Manisha is no longer taking clients for her private practice. This makes her ideally suited to share with us, her candid and unbiased perspective of therapy and how it really works!

A big thank you for making our second guest event successful last night! We had 20+ attendees, some very insightful inputs from our guest, Manisha and very thought provoking questions from the audience! I hope we all learnt how to increase the chances of therapy working out for us..
