As a Psychologist, I often felt that we often logically analyse why we are feeling “sad”, and “angry”, understanding our unhelpful thought patterns, but never sat with those feelings.
As a Yoga Instructor, I sat with my feelings, understanding my body sensations. Yoga helps in releasing those emotions which get locked in the nervous system, but never understood what causes those intense emotions and why we avoid or suppress them.
Hence, Inner Balance addresses the imbalance between the mind and the body by combining Western therapy and Yoga Principles. Thereby, addressing emotions in a healthy way (at the body level) so that we can have a kind inner dialogue with ourselves (at the mind level).
I have Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and various evidence based psychotherapy certifications like (REBT, TA and CBT). My work experience includes over 300 sessions at Aditya Birla Group (Mpower). My clients have sought psychological therapy for emotional and behavioural difficulties, attachment & relationship difficulties, self-harm, anxiety, depression and self esteem related concerns.
My Yogi experience includes 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) registered with US Alliance (Sri Sri School of Yoga). This knowledge will help me view the individual holistically across 5 layers (lifestyle, body, mind, intellect, and spirit). Currently, I am preparing for YCB (Yoga Teacher and Evaluator) Level 3 exam under Ministry of Ayush (800hrs)
My vision is to incorporate more holistic and body-oriented approaches in psychotherapy practice, which is inclusive of everybody and every body.
