Send us a text

Gita Chaudhuri, Head of Psychotherapy at The Balance RehabClinic, breaks down the importance of understanding our emotions and the role they play in signaling our needs. She explores how modern society has developed a low tolerance for discomfort, leading many to suppress unpleasant feelings rather than embrace them as a natural part of life.

In this episode, she shares insights into the mind-body connection, explaining how true healing requires an integrated approach beyond just addressing symptoms. Through this discussion, she offers a fresh perspective on finding balance, fulfillment, and lasting happiness—not as a distant goal but as something to be cultivated in the present moment.
