Or to put loosely, we live in a 3D world, inside our heads and outside of it. Mental Space Psychology “works with our individual constructs to overcome obstacles, stop limiting beliefs and achieve goals.”
In this episode, Bhavana talks about using space as a therapeutic tool, playing with language, frames, feelings and through other cognitive methods. Whether it’s a bad boss or a tough relationship, there are tools to create a shift towards feeling hopeful once again. She generously demonstrates how to prepare ourselves for difficult conversations using the “Negotiation Panorama” technique.
Bhavana, who calls herself the "Lightweaver", has a PhD in Communication from University of New Mexico, USA and is the pioneer of Mental Space Psychology in India and Founder Director of Mental Space Academy India.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
