Continuing the conversation from last week, in Part 2 with Sana Powell, MA, LPC a.k.a Curly Therapist we talk a bit more about the cultural context of accessing therapy. In a country like India where mental health is still not openly talked about, how does one begin to access resources they may need? What about when you don't have the language to articulate what you're feeling or going through? Are you still experiencing depression, anxiety or loneliness in that case? Desi households often comprise of multiple generations living together and many have to toe the line between enmeshment and isolation. Although having a community helps with people who are experiencing mental health issues how does one strike the balance between asserting healthy boundaries and seeking connection? This episode is a fitting finale to a Season 1 where various aspects of sustainability has been poked, prodded and examined. Nearly all of our guests talked about mental health and we hope that this episode will resonate with you as we record during these tumultuous times.
