This podcast is about the modern day dilemmas faced by the modern day women. Are they afraid of commitment or are they afraid of being unable to achieve work life balance? Marriages are changing. Long courtships are still not a guarantee to a fulfilling relationship. What appears to be a common problem is one where both partners have stopped communicating- there is a lot of pent up emotions of hurt, anger, resentment and feeling of being ignored and unwanted. Intimacy suffers. The marriage appears to be functioning from the outside - they are living under the same roof but feel like a divorced couple.
On the eve of International Women’s Day, I am happy to share this podcast made by The Wall. Thank you Tiyash Mukhopadhyay for bringing up all the relevant issues and conflicts of today's women .

Our next CBT Workshop is on Depression.
Our perspectives decide how we look at a situation - there are some who tend to always look at the brighter side of any experience. And then there are others who tend to be pessimistic, or negative and they are prone to depression. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or CBT is an established form of psychotherapy which helps change our faulty patterns of thinking or cognitive distortions.
We are once again blessed to have Prof. Dr. Susmita Halder, of St. Xavier University as our resource person.
Mental health professionals, teachers and those working as HRs would benefit from this workshop.

Today is World Mental Health Day. Thought of sharing some quotations on mental health.
They have been made into posters and is up on our walls in our clinic, Crystal Minds.
The stigma may have reduced somewhat, but it has to go completely, if we want to live in a better, healthier and happier world. Prioritizing mental health improves our quality of life.

The World Su***de Prevention Day is commemorated on the 10th September every year, worldwide.
On 7th September, 2025, Crystal Minds held a very enriching Workshop on Self Harm and Suicidal Behavior: Comprehensive Psychological Management by Prof Dr.
Susmita Halder. It was attended not only by mental health professionals, but also NGO workers, working in the community with vulnerable children and adults. Su***de Prevention has to be tackled by all of us in the community, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, clinics, workplaces and homes. Better awareness means we can identify those who are at risk and prevent them from taking such a drastic step.
The Training Workshop facilitated by Dr. Halder highlighted very important take away messages in a very simple manner. We are truly blessed once again to have her. Thank you Dr. Surabhi Ghosh for your efficient coordination.
Su***de is preventable. Better awareness and understanding is very important .

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. The international theme this year on World Su***de Prevention Day this year is 'Changing the Narrative on Su***de'. Su***de is not inevitable. One can change the way a suicidal person thinks.
This serious public health issue needs to be addressed by all of us.
