I am 26 years old, I was facing challenges in my marriage caused by a shift in my husband's behavior causing distress and concern for my safety and well-being.

On recommendation through Practo I was guided by Psychologist Ms Hemma DSouza on the importance to address this situation with care and urgency. Prioritising my safety .

Under her guidance I was able to manage therapy for my Husband to control his escalating behavior in difficulty controlling his emotions through cognitive-behavioral therapy .

He was able to develop healthier coping mechanisms, and learn strategies to manage his emotions in a constructive manner.

Ma’am provided a safe and neutral space for open communication between us , this facilitated constructive dialogue to help address issues contributing to the strain in our marriage and explored ways to strengthen our relationship.

This helped me personally too in processing my experiences, and navigating the challenges in my marriage.

Ma’am helped me reflect on my relationship and assess whether it is healthy and fulfilling for me . I was able to weigh the pros and cons of staying in the relationship versus seeking separation or divorce. I was reminded that I deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and dignity in my relationship. I chose my marriage , I am glad I did because with her help my marriage, my relationship with my husband has improved significantly over the course of therapy sessions . Thank you Ms Hemma DSouza .
