I've believed in this one thing for all of my life. Be the change you wish to see. If there is a change you want in the system, take responsibility, take ownership, build something and change it. So this is me taking responsibility. Dear fellow therapist, I'm doing a small survey just to understand if we need a national body that can help regulate the system. I'm aware that some exist, but honestly, none is working for me. RCI changes things every day! And counselling psychologists like myself have nowhere to make our case. So this is a trial, if I am able to assess a need, I can and will find resources to build it from the ground up. It's rough, it is new, it's different but I really need your support. The link is here! Please fill it up. Share it with your friends. Share it with your classmates! https://lnkd.in/gTpttKWm You'll do me a huge favour! 🌼 All of your data will only come to me and I promise none of this will be used or sold to anyone in any way. #psychologist #india #mentalhealth

‘You want to be a therapist? Get into therapy and you must have a supervisor for your work’ This is what one of my favourite professors at Ambedkar University Delhi told me. I dutifully followed. After almost 12 year of following his advice I am opening up a supervision support group for young therapists. If you are someone who is just getting started in the field and looking to build your practice, this according to me should be helpful :) I am collaborating with Safetherapy and designed a fun, interactive, hands on supervision support group.

Exam Stress According to the Journal of Indian Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, anxiety, social withdrawal, and dysphoria collectively affect a staggering 51% of school-aged children and adolescents. Additionally, a recent survey conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) revealed that 12-13% of students in India are grappling with psychological, emotional, and behavioral conditions. Reliance on student's performance by achieving good grades in all subjects pushes students into extremely stressful conditions. We as society must move away from this metric and emphasize on holistic development of our child. #examstress #india #mental #health #healthcare #hospitalsofbhopal #Bhopal #kohefiza #hospital

Here's how I transformed my practice and attained a global level reach of clients with Psychologyindia.

When I first started my journey as a counseling psychologist, I often felt out of place. I worried that I didn’t know enough and noticed how many people seemed to value clinical psychologists more than counseling psychologists in India. This made me question if I was a “real” therapist. Over time, I learned that feeling like an imposter is completely natural. Connecting with fellow therapists and reading insightful books helped me navigate these feelings and understand that I’m not alone in this. I’d love to hear from both new and experienced psychologists: 👉🏼Baby therapists, Ask one question that’s really bothering you. 👉🏼And seasoned therapists, give one piece of advice that has really helped you. Let’s share our experiences and support each other. #MentalHealth #ImposterSyndrome #TherapistJourney

Why isn’t anyone talking about the new rule from the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) except for psychology professionals? Where is the media? This shows how mental health professionals in India are treated. The RCI has introduced a new rule requiring a four-year BSc in Clinical Psychology, but it's only for science students. This unfairly excludes arts and commerce students, and everyone is too focused on the NEET UG scam to notice. This change affects thousands of students and the future of mental health care in India. We need to speak up and demand a fairer policy. #RCIPolicy #EducationReform #MentalHealthMatters #InclusivityInEducation

📢EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD YOU HAVE TO READ THIS. This is regarding the new Education policy with regards to psychology. It is something that is not just affecting us as psychologists in India but the future of mental health care. I don't think people are realising that we are in the face of a mental health crisis and such half-planned notices and clear fire fighting based policies will fail the population. Just to give you some perspective, I have a BSc in Psychology and a MSc in Clinical psychology. I don't have a science background because Psychology in my 11th and 12th was considered a humanities or arts subject. With this logic where do I fall? If you are reading this, it is going to be affecting you as well. CFBR or Repost this because we can no longer standby such a board that clearly does not have the capabilities to regulate a vast field like psychology. This is not even addressing the issues of how other fields like developemntal psychology, hypnotherapy, and so many psychology subfields are going unregulated as well. So my question may be does RCI need to be doing more of creating a separate board for psychology and psychiatry in India. We don't just need policies we need restructuring.

Supervision in India: A simple yet tricky question (i guess). What do you think who can become a clinical supervisor in India for therapists? #supervision #psychotherapy #earlycareer #therapists #supervisors #training
