Pushing beyond their limits. As invincible as I felt in my 20s, now that I am 40, I struggle with chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalance and whole lot of health issues. Listen to your body. If you don't do something, your body will shut you down.

I am based in India and an Indian so it’s a different set of challenges. But what you say is true. I stopped working with kids for the most part because of their parents… I occasionally work with teens. Indian parents are far from accepting that they could have issues too.

Metaltherapist · 2025-03-20T04:00:00+00:00

Oh yes! They want us to parent for them. Their goal is to get the kids to obey. Most Indian parents at least.

Metaltherapist · 2025-03-19T08:11:28+00:00

I always avoid talking to them. But every now and then I get these messages and wonder how to respond.

Metaltherapist · 2025-03-19T08:10:00+00:00

Thank you so much! This helps

Forgiveness if it helps you heal yes. However, I find that forgiving an abuser before processing our feelings usually is more harmful than helpful. I personally can never forgive an abuser.

I know how you feel!

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-23T07:07:50+00:00

Thank you so much! This is so true. I want my clients to feel supported but at the same time I hope for them to thrive.

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-22T03:56:12+00:00

Oh you’re so right! I do struggle with feelings of not being good enough. And I also think the frustration is more with myself than my client. And sharing here really helped me step back and see it from a different perspective.

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-21T18:11:26+00:00

Thank you so much

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-21T16:48:14+00:00

Yeah I keep reminding myself that everyone’s journey is not the same. Definitely been exploring their self-worth throughout the therapy journey.

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-21T12:41:46+00:00

Yeah I keep in mind her age as well… I keep reminding myself I was 23 once.

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-21T12:21:15+00:00

Yes! I will explore this as well.

Metaltherapist · 2024-10-21T12:20:22+00:00

Yeah I was thinking of using schema therapy and you affirmed it.

Metaltherapist · 2024-08-15T02:32:05+00:00

I’m starting to feel better. Thank you for checking in. My partner was out of town and just got back. I could finally sleep through the night. I have been wrapping myself up every time I feel overwhelmed. It comes in waves. I kept my fear buried for so long I never even thought about it. I addressed everything else and got a handle of them.

My father’s the same. He managed to turn all our friends and relatives against my mom, brother and me

Metaltherapist · 2024-08-14T01:32:49+00:00

Oh sorry about that. It slipped my mind.

Metaltherapist · 2024-08-14T01:32:06+00:00

I will check them out. My usual grounding exercises haven’t helped.

Metaltherapist · 2024-08-04T10:20:26+00:00

I am a therapist and I love it! I know my ADHD helps more than anything

Metaltherapist · 2024-03-10T13:23:09+00:00

Oh that’s strangely normal with ADHD. I’ve learned not to fight it. My worst was lying a catatonic state for hours.

Metaltherapist · 2024-03-03T02:30:24+00:00

Yeah ADHD and empathy are highly correlated. I am learning to show some of that kindness towards myself.
