Initially, I was quite apprehensive about seeking psychological counselling. I feared that I might not be able to open up or articulate my experiences to a third person, along with the constant worry of being judged. However, once the session began, I slowly started discovering aspects of myself that I never realized were buried deep in my mind, yet were affecting me negatively. As the session progressed, these thoughts and emotions surfaced naturally, without requiring much effort on my part. Simply talking them out brought me a sense of relief , though very small, perhaps, but genuine indeed !
The second phase of the session, as I would describe it, involved Dr. Poonam sharing her insights after patiently and thoroughly listening to me. During this phase, I truly understood how different and effective professional guidance can be compared to advice from friends and family members, who, despite good intentions , lacks technical knowledge and intellectual apparatus to offer solution. That is when I realized the real value and usefulness of consulting a professional psychologist.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Poonam for helping me recognize my own flaws, the situations they had led to, and my own capacity to deal with them. The third phase of therapy involved Dr. Poonam charting out a practical and workable plan for me. These recommendations were realistic and easy to follow, and I began to notice positive changes after applying them. What I appreciated most about her was her strong command over her field - she is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and well-versed.
I am not suggesting that all my problems disappeared in a single session. Therapy is a process, and its duration varies from person to person. However, I have benefited immensely from these sessions. I have developed a healthier mindset to face issues head-on rather than avoid them, and I am confident that with the continued guidance of a therapist like Dr. Poonam , things will improve more effectively and quicklyâsomething I doubt would have happened on its own.
I am writing this review for anyone who, like me, is going through a difficult phase filled with stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. Psychologists do not solve our problems for us; rather, with their professional expertise, they help us uncover and activate our own abilitiesâabilities we may not even realize we possess. This process ultimately leaves one feeling empowered and positive. During extremely challenging times, our minds often fail to function at their best, and we may lack the necessary tools to cope. Therapy allows us to borrow the clarity of a âhealthy mindâ along with the tools that psychologists provide.
Dr. Poonam has been a tremendous help in this regard. I would strongly suggest that anyone facing a life crisis that â maybe you should talk to someone â â and preferably, to Dr. Poonam at Innsaei đđ Cheers đ
