Certified Transactional Analyst @ Anna Chandy & Associates at Anna Chandy and Associates - Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Each of us, in the Anna Chandy team, is driven by our own moment of truth in our journeys. Over the years, we have come together with a certain like-mindedness, a common vision for the future. To challenge and shape the conversation around mental health in our society to encourage vulnerability and uniqueness in individuals ,families and organsiations From the time we started our journey, conversations around mental illness have significantly opened up, enabling more people to seek help. However, we still have a long way to go to make Mental Health a priority, not just for managing illness, but also to support social issues and past experiences that impact each one of us. At Anna Chandy, we are on a mission to normalize therapy as way of life.We believe each one of us deserves to embrace and celebrate our uniqueness, without shame, without fear and without giving in to the call for conformity. Uniqueness made up of decisions made in the moment of "ahaha".Therapeutic interventions introduces a you to the freedom to choose yourself, over and over again, unapologetically.In India, therapy needs to work both at an individual level and in the backdrop of our complex, interconnected ,entangled system. Often counselling extends beyond the individual to facilitating family systems or conversations in the context of organisations. Over time, we hope to be able to bring systemic change in power-ridden families, organizations, and eventually society.
