What is Relationship Therapy?
Does the question itself intimidate you? Yes, I know, it may, considering the fact that "therapy" seems like something you indulge in only when the situation is bad or beyond your control. Hence I would like to explain this to you differently :
🔍 a private session where you talk to a professional about your relationship (present, past, or future) & share all of the good, bad, ugly, exciting, sexy, shameful, amazing, giggle-inducing stuff WITH the intention of understanding YOUR needs & deal with issues that exist or may crop up in the future, is Relationship therapy.
And it doesn't end here. You can opt for Relationship therapy regardless of whether you are dating, married, single or separated. What? YES!
Let me explain...
It helps you :
-
Understand your needs
-
Gain perspective
-
See clearer
-
Learn Relationship Techniques that help you communicate, solve problem & meet expectations
-
Feel supported
-
Become conscious
-
Understand your partner/prospective partners better
-
Unlearn limiting beliefs about love & romance
-
Possibly create YOUR version of your dream relationship
Who should opt in?
Should I say everyone? No honestly!
If you have never dated & want to start by understanding relationships & addressing your apprehension or concerns.
If you are casual dating & want to step into something serious
If you are already in a relationship and are thinking of long-term commitment or marriage
If you are a committed couple and want to understand your relationship better + make it a conscious journey of growth and love
And finally, if you are facing issues in your relationship, with family, extended family, been contemplating separation or dissolving a marriage, relationship therapy can help you think clearly amidst the chaos.

I don't want to get on a Video session. Can I opt for a Telephonic Conversation or better still...chat?First off..we completely understand and we are glad you still want to do this despite of your apprehensions. You need not switch on your Video & that's completely okay. We don't offer telephone services. And we believe that chat may not be the best medium in order to receive genuine guidance.

I would like to avail more than 1 session a week, Can I?It's always better to introspect and reflect on the concepts and things we discuss during a session. Hence traditionally most therapists believe that once a week is a great standard timeline. But some cases are special and we are willing to accommodate you for multiple sessions in a week if you truly need it. Please bring this up with Kasturi M when you talk for specific guidance.

What exactly is Reparenting?The entire concept of reparenting comes from the term Inner Child. We all have an Inner Child within us. If we do not acknowledge the child within, we continue to engage in self sabotaging behaviour and function unconsciously throughout all situation & events in our life. We are still under the influence of why and how situations affected us as kids in a helpless environment, dependent on our caregivers for basically everything. We wish our fathers would be more present, our mothers would have stood up for themselves more often, wish our parents would show us love in ways other than food or school stuff, wish we could be more vocal about love, wish life was what we see in pop culture growing up. We grow up feeling misunderstood and unloved, though maybe our parents/caregivers tried their best/that's all they knew/they had their own trauma & were unhealed, leaving them incapable to display emotions or love and parent consciously. No matter what the reason, we end up feeling resentment and intense negative feelings, unable to understand why and where it stems from, we give in to substances, food, work and jump aimlessly from one relationship to another, searching for the love & care we craved as children. In reality, we are 20/30/40 somethings with the unmet needs of a 5/10/17 year old. In order to snap out of that programming, live more conscious & fruitful lives, to end internal conflict & tom be more truly happy & joyous, we need to take reigns of our past for a free future.
