As the theme for May is Mother's Day, the question on parenting is frequent. Millennials and parenting is a long journey of self doubt and fear of "traumatising" their children. With the desire to avoid repeating history, the true impact of parenting has risen. Millennials and Gen Z are also the generation questioning if they really want children of their own, questions that boomers did not have the opportunity to ask. This brings about the big fear of "How can I not traumatise my children?". Join this conversation between Sadaf and Neelu Grover to know more!

In this episode, Sadaf along with our guests from Co-Bear Collective, Ankita and Indraneil talk about the experience of suffering and how it shows up in the therapeutic space. Victimhood within suffering is oftentimes less about the position and its inherent label and more about the experience the individuals carry and what it brings up for patients/clients. Listen to hear more about this and also more about the therapists' experience and importance of understanding our own victimhood while working with other patients/clients.

Shadow (hindi: parchayi) is that which is behind us, tucked away, yet always connected to us. We explore the shadow psychologically, emotionally, and talk about what traits or histories have we put there, and why? Shadow is that which is not known to us, but makes itself seen in unconscious behaviors or at times, feeling really activate/charged up/triggered. We also talk about what shadow can mean for those who are caregivers, have a helping nature or are in the helping professions/academia/activism. Lastly, we speak of simple practices to know and integrate one's shadow elements.

Can language force us to arrive at and live a description of ourselves that we have not yet fully discovered? How can the language of pleasure bring forth freedom, creativity and an emotional breathing room? What does language have to do with our experience of relationship? Join Sadaf and Paromita Vohra as they try to answer these questions and interweave it with ideas within mental health.

Listen in to a raw conversation among folks who have been first benchers, last benchers and everywhere in between. The education system works for a certain norm and everyone that does not match that norm struggles, but we also discuss the students who fit the norm and how they struggle with that reality. Schools can be safe spaces, but also hold a lot of fear and pain and sometimes the two are not mutually exclusive.

Our early relationships with caregivers affect what we want in our adult relationships, the needs, the wants and most importantly the scarcity or neglect highlights the insecurities we exhibit in them. However, there is possibility of repair, especially when we learn how to be in relationships in a way that works best for our needs.

People say you don’t heal in the same place that hurt you but in group work, the group can hurt and also help healing. When individuals from different walks of life, caste, class, religious orientation, sex etc come together, there is ought to be friction but sometimes that friction helps us heal the ancient wounds that the friction is built on. Groups are not a safe space in the way that they don't hurt, but that they are a safe space to explore the hurt that has occurred.
