Can a weekend retreat heal you psychologically and give you a new self? Can expensive consciousness-based programs take you to a higher state of consciousness?

Be cautious of anyone promising magical transformations. In my two decades of clinical practice, I have learnt one basic thing — psychological healing is rarely quick or simple.

When we have lived with certain dysfunctional emotional patterns for years, they become familiar companions. Even when they cause us pain, parting with them can be surprisingly difficult.

Letting go involves much more than learning a new technique. Psychological healing cannot be hurried. It unfolds in its own time, demanding patience, emotional courage, and a willingness to encounter ourselves honestly.

I explore this issue in this short clip from my 2018 talk at SACAR, Pondicherry, on Emotional Healing and Psychotherapy.
