‘Achhoot’ — A Transgenerational Psychodrama Series
Touching the Untouchables of Our Psyche

There are stories we inherit in silence —
of shame, of duty, of love never spoken, of fear passed down as obedience.
They live quietly inside our bodies, shaping how we love, work, parent, and belong.

‘Achhoot’ is a 15-month journey through psychodrama —
An exploration into the shadows of the Indian psyche, where we dare to meet what was once kept untouchable — and discover the healing power of honesty, empathy, and shared truth.

Across six themes —
Prosperity • Sexuality • Emotional Intimacy • Death • Parenting • Individuation (Patriarchy) —
we travel from survival to soul, from inheritance to freedom.

🪞 Come with an open heart.
Leave with a lighter soul and clearer sight.

📍Ahmedabad & Bangalore | 2025–26
Each theme will be explored in person over a weekend.
Facilitator: Meenakshi Kirtane (aka Roohdaar)

🌍 15-Month International Person-Centered Therapy Program
✨ By Maanas The Inside Story

💠 Module 2: Core Skills 💠
At the very heart of Person-Centered Therapy are the three core conditions identified by Carl Rogers. These are not just techniques – they are ways of being that transform therapy into a deeply healing experience.

🔹Empathy – the ability to step into another’s world, to see, feel, and understand from their perspective.
🔹Congruence – the courage to be genuine, authentic, and transparent as a therapist.
🔹Unconditional Positive Regard – creating a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where people can grow into their best selves.

In this module, you will not only learn what these mean, but you will experience and practice how to live them in your work as a therapist. 🌱

💫 Why this matters:
✔️ Builds real trust with clients
✔️ Strengthens your therapeutic presence

શ્રી નૂતન ગુજરાત પત્રમાં “Maanas The Inside Story” દ્વારા પ્રસિદ્ધ થયેલો વિશેષ લેખ!
માનસિક આરોગ્ય એટલે શું? અને એની સંભાળ કેમ રાખવી જોઈએ?
આ લેખમાં સમજાવ્યું છે કે માનસિક આરોગ્યનો અર્થ માત્ર દર્દ કે ઉદાસીનતા નથી — એ છે આપણા ભાવનાત્મક સંતુલન અને જીવન સાથે સંલગ્નતા.
જેમ આપણે શરીર માટે કાળજી રાખીએ છીએ, તેમ મન માટે પણ સાચવવું અતિ આવશ્યક છે.

લેખના મુખ્ય મુદ્દાઓ:
• મનનું થાકવું પણ એક સંકેત છે — કે આપણને આરામ, સમજણ અને સહારાની જરૂર છે.
• તણાવ અને થાક શારીરિક નથી, કયાંક અંદરનો છે.
• “મનની સંભાળ” એટલે ખુશ રહેવાનું દબાણ નહિ, પણ સાચી લાગણીઓ સાથે જીવવાનું સંકલ્પ.

આ લેખ “Maanas The Inside Story” દ્વારા માનસિક આરોગ્ય અંગે જાગૃતિ ફેલાવવાના ભાગરૂપે આપમેળે લેખિત અને પ્રકાશિત થયો છે.

Featured in Shri Nutan Gujarat newspaper — A special contribution by *Maanas The Inside Story*

What is mental health? And how can we take care of it?

This article explains that mental health is not just about disorders or sadness — it’s about emotional balance and inner strength.
Just like we care for the body, we need to start caring for the mind too.

Highlights from the article:
• A tired mind is a sign — asking us to pause, rest, and reflect.
• Stress and fatigue may not always show physically but can weigh heavily inside.
• "
Caring for the mind” doesn’t mean forcing happiness — it means choosing awareness and healing.

This article is written and published by *Maanas The Inside Story* as part of its initiative to spread awareness on mental health.

Aadi: A New Beginning – A Stage Transformed! 🎭✨

Aadi: A New Beginning unfolded in its full vibrancy, marking a historic moment for psychodrama in India. From the very first step into the space, an electric energy filled the room—stories came alive, roles were explored, and a community of seekers, healers, and storytellers co-created something profound.

With spontaneity as our guide, deep connections unfolded, and the inaugural moments set the tone for a journey of self-discovery, healing, and action. The stage wasn’t just a stage—it became a mirror, a playground, and a sacred space for transformation.

Looking back, we cherish the moments, the breakthroughs, and the shared energy that made Aadi unforgettable. The drama was real, the healing was deep, and the journey continues!
