A happy Tuesday to you all!
I often come across people here who are not quite sure what to expect out of me being a psychotherapist. So , a post here dedicated for some psychoeducation-
What a therapist is not:
1.A therapist is not your friend, not a recreational activity and definitely not a life coach.
2. A therapist is not a know-it-all person.
Your life and emotional difficulties are unique and therapy is a process of making sense of it together.
3. A therapist is not just for a crisis. Therapy is a process that helps us work on layers of issues, something can fundamentally happen when you're 'outside' of a crisis.
4. A therapist has the required training and qualifications and is empathetic and non-judgemental.
5.A therapist is always unimpressed. Harsh but what a therapist can do for you is to free you from performative presence and a calculative narrative. You can try to be anyone but for therapists, you're someone who is willing to be really seen.

How long should you be taking therapy lessons? I’ve taken 8 lessons so far, and I thought it’d end now. But my therapist has given me homework which is related to me daydreaming. Idk when is it going to end.

Now&Me Feedback

Entering into romantic relationships and sustaining these ties, although beautiful, may turn out to be challenging in the current times. Another challenge comes with the need of understanding our own ‘self’ within a relationship. Today we have **Sanchi Sharma,** a counselling psychologist on board with us to answer all your questions under the theme of **’Navigating relationships- Heartthrobs and Heartaches’** 💖💔

**About Sanchi Sharma (She/Her)-**

Sanchi Sharma is a counselling psychologist with her practice based in Delhi. She completed her Masters of Arts in Psychology with a specialization in Psychosocial studies. She believes that the therapeutic alliance founded between the therapist and client is an essential component in gaining insights and progress in therapy. At the same time, as an ode to her psychosocial training, it is of utmost importance that her practice stays rooted in the reality of its cultural context. She has worked with several different organizations as a mental health counsellor, intern, volunteer and content writer and an active member of the field for several years. In all her years as a psychology student and practitioner, the most valuable lesson that she's learnt is that therapy should be accessible to all. She's now on the journey to try and make that a reality.

Feel free to ask her any and all questions aligning with the theme without a smidge of hesitation! 

Remember that asking questions shows strength, not weakness. 🤗💐
