In India, therapy is not part of the culture; it has not become such a big need.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a stigma on the word 'therapy.' People relate it to big problems. That's something we have to change. Going to therapy can be very healthy. It can change the way you see things and treat others.
Acting's not therapy, but it can be therapeutic.
People who need therapy are in Afghanistan. They've seen horrible human cruelty and degradation, but they don't have time or the money for therapy.
We may define therapy as a search for value.
Therapy needs to be integrated. You mustn't forget about a patient's emotional wellbeing. It is vital to the outcome of their treatment.
I'm all for 'tools,' not 'schools,' of therapy. To me, the schools of therapy compete much like religions, or even cults, all claiming to know the cause and to have the best method for treating people.
'Psychotherapy' is a private, confidential conversation that has nothing to do with illness, medicine, or healing.
India has been a very accepting culture. We pride ourselves on that. That is a global truth. In fact, it forms a major theme in my books.
I love therapy. I swear by therapy. I couldn't exist without therapy.
I think massage is a very important part of life, which is present from centuries as an imminent part of India's tradition.
