She failed to inculcate strength and instilled a false belief in her daughters that they were meant to serve, maintain peace in relationships. All such errant mothers, please wake up, speak the truth. Stand up for what you truly are, redeem all that … Continue reading Stand up for what you are

Paradox

It was a client who gave the counsellor the right perspective. “The problem is we cannot have part of a person. We need to accept the whole, though certain parts are so exasperating.” Parineeta thought about her husband who mirrored her father’s value system, and had attracted to him for that reason.
