Hi Sim, it is sad that you have to go through this difficult phase in your life. I can see how you are feeling like you are tied up and don't see any control over this situation and the challenges that you must be going through must be hurtful and disappointing.
I will request you book a Discovery Call. You will find the option under 'Services' for booking it. As a therapist i will understand your challenges more deeply and your relationship dynamics with your husband, in-laws and other members of the family. This will help us decide if individual therapy or couple's therapy is workable for you.
In therapy, you will learn to identify your support system, build your support system, learn to dissociate from unwarranted situations and thoughts and how to gently and assertively put forward your emotions and boundaries.

I see a lot of changes in my son's nature as he is growing up. A lot of parenting pages ask you to let them be, but i am afraid what if he gets into wrong crowd or does something shameful at this age if i don't set rules with him. How do i handle this. Talking to him usually ends up in arguments these days but doing nothing gives me anxiety. Please help
Hi Meenakshi. What you are feeling and going through are very valid emotions and experiences. I am sure it must be consuming a lot of your mental energy.
Here, I would like to let you know how therapy will help you deal with this challenge. In therapy, we will first work upon understanding the depth of relationship with your son and the level of boundaries you have already been setting and with how much assertion.
Then, I will help you in building trust in you parenting and principles that you have already taught. Along with this, i will help you learn how to set boundaries without making them look like a burden and how you or your husband can become his confidant while maintaining the hierarchy or being his parent.

My 20yr old daughter has been experiencing breathing issues. There is no history of lung issues or bp problem. We were told it could be anxiety, but i dont think she has any anxiety.
Hi Sheena, thank you for sharing your experience. I would like to take this opportunity to help you understand that there is a difference between tensions, worry, fears and 'anxiety'. Anxiety is a clinical condition and can happen to anyone. Hence, if reports of all the physical examination are in place, it is important to get her tested for it by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist.
Then eventually therapy can begin based on results, where she will be led to understand her triggers, causes; and learn/ incorporate therapeutic measures to deal with breathlessness and other symptoms.

Everyone is suggesting therapy. How is therapy going to help me??? I am heartbroken and shattered. Nobody can change anything now.
I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I can see that your situation seems like a dead end and you feel very low and distressed at this point of time.
Sometimes, we go in therapy NOT to change anything about our situations or others, but we may Try Therapy to let someone be there for you, hold your emotions and help you sail through this heartbreaking pain.

I am not sure if the reasons for our fights is my husband’s nature, or is it me? How do I make our relationship work?
Hi, it must be tiring to go through the same arguments again and again. I will suggest you to book a "discovery call" to discuss your problems in detail and we can go ahead accordingly. I will be able to guide you if you need Couple's Counselling or Individual Counselling after discussing everything in depth with you.
My relationship wid my husband is only becoming bad bcz of my in-laws. I feel so helpless sometimes. what do i do?
