In today’s changing times, many people are talking about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, more commonly known as CBT. Let us break this down. What is cognitive? Cognitive basically refers to the mind, which belongs to the realm of ‘mental’. This therapy helps you re-align your mind to think the right things that encourage you to be happy. Mental therapy and mental aid used to be situations that people generally equated with psychosis in the olden days. It is alarming. In the kind of rushed lives we live, going off-balance is the most natural thing that can happen. Cognitive behaviors include situations like hyperactivity, sweating, shaking and even anxiety attacks. They can cause breathlessness and even fainting. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you understand the problems you are facing at the mental level. They can be related to worrying too much, or even to having anxiety or panic attacks. This can also result in shorter attention spans or zoning out for too long. It can also ma...

Dance, on a very logical note, biologically releases stress relieving happy hormones in the body. That is why we think of dance as a way of therapy that helps you reconnect with yourself. Dance therapy can also help people with autism as it releases and betters the nervous and cognitive system. Movement with dance is such a great combination of mental and physical work, that it helps coordination. That is why it is recommended for people with autism. It is also recommended for people with depression because of its impact on the emotional chemistry. When we dance, we release a lot of hormones that may stabilize the chemical imbalance caused by depression. It is true! When someone is going through trauma, the muscles seem to stiffen up. This is again a condition where dance therapy plays an important role. Read further…

We look at yoga not only as a form of practice that aligns the body and the mind but also as a way of therapy. Is the mind separate from the body? Is the body just a physical form? Do they both intertwine at all? What is the connection between them? Through asking these questions, you will also understand what yoga therapy training is. In fact we look at yoga as a mind-body connection bringing stability to one’s life. In that way, it can be called a complete therapy in itself. Yoga can also be used to cure many pains like sciatica or even intangible discomforts like mental health. We use tennis balls under our lower back to help in sciatica pain coupled with some yoga postures and movements. We call them yoga therapy balls for sciatica. That is why we say that yoga has many benefits and does not only improve posture, presence and blood flow but also helps us in relieving pain. Mental health is another area that yoga helps in by helping us calm our minds, biologically releasing better...

In today’s stressful times where everyone is running and no one know why, where everyone is looking for more and no one know what they are looking for, there is a very false sense of urgency that our decadent culture has created; and then created Nimhans to treat its ill effects. What an irony! We constantly keep pushing and pulling against life. For us, psychologist meaning is limited to be a specialist that we can never be for our own self. It’s exactly like looking forward to political leaders and never become our own leader in every walk of life. We immediately need to find a way of maneuvering it with a stable and a calm mind. For this many people look forward to stress management therapy. These are trying times where in one opinion can become many people’s opinion. And together this sort of collective thinking can give rise to a huge impact. As a social species we are also constantly struggling with the idea of personal and shared space. It is because much of our mind is occupied...
