Jiva Center For Emotional Well Being

I went to Ms. Priyanka after 8+ years of debilitating Borderline Personality Disorder on the recommendation (or rather forcefulness) of my psychiatrist.

A little background: I had been suffering from dissociative disorder since 2015 and was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Since 2015, I have had small spells of happy months and a big chunk of my illness. After a recent episode lasting months of extreme distress (panic attacks, dissociative episodes, extreme depression), I had 0 hopes of getting better. I had already been to more than 6 therapists and multiple doctors, and most of them had claimed to do CBT on me. I was very sure that it would not work. So when my psychiatrist recommended (rather forced me) to visit Ms. Priyanka, you could say I did not expect much.

During sessions: Let me begin by saying that her entire methodology is so structured and meticulous. She charts out a plan according to each client’s needs and ability. She is so well-versed in CBT, and after meeting her, I realized, yes, therapy, CBT, all of these are very, very powerful treatments. She is so empathetic, yet she will call out problematic behaviors when she sees them. Let me tell you, she will not coddle you, but she will make sure that you can think for yourself and take care of yourself. She helped me realize so many of my underlying issues and has completely transformed my thoughts, behaviors, and lifestyle. She is not forceful either; she supports and empowers. One example is that I have always wondered and blamed myself for my illness, especially since my immediate family has no such issues. She made me realize that I am a product of my genes (several of my extended family have similar disorders), nurture (she helped me realize that many of my automatic thoughts were learned very early on), and many other factors. After carefully assessing and understanding my thought process, she helped me correct and unlearn unhealthy behaviors. I am now motivated, energetic, and my mental AND physical health have improved drastically since meeting her.

Post-sessions: After having 8+ CBT sessions with her, I am quite confident that CBT is absolutely brilliant and can literally change a person. Most therapists I have been to claim to do CBT just “wing” it without any structure or progress check. Well, to be honest, most people just counsel and say “well, CBT completed.” Like I mentioned, I had been to more than 6 therapists, and while they helped me in the short run, Ms. Priyanka completely transformed my thinking style and pattern. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is suffering.

I had reached a point in my life where anxiety, unresolved trauma and anxiety had cast a shadow over my daily life. At 40 years old, I believed that embarking on this therapeutic journey would be the turning point I desperately needed.

From the first session, Dr. Priyanka created a safe and compassionate space for me to open up and explore the depths of my emotions. Her empathetic approach made it easy for me to share my fears, insecurities, and the painful experiences that had troubled me for far too long.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my therapy experience was her ability to unravel the intricate web of my past trauma. She consistently believed in my capacity for growth and transformation, even when I doubted it myself. She skillfully guided me through each layer, allowing me to revisit painful memories with different perspectives and a sense of empowerment. Her deep understanding of trauma and its lasting effects helped me make sense of my emotions and gradually release the grip it held over me.

If you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or unresolved trauma, then give yourself the gift of therapy—it may be the best decision you ever make.

Gratefully,

Visited for Stress, Anxiety Disorder.

I was suffering from stress,anxiety,I used to be very low on confidence,had negative approach towards life,wanted to be a perfectionist in everything,used to get sleep terrors. I came across Dr.Priyanka's profile through practo. In the beginning, I was very skeptical about undergoing therapy as I have been facing this issue since many years, then I took the decision to attend one session with Dr Priyanka and I had really good experience with her,she is comfortable to talk to, she is very calm listener,she analyzes our problem and helps us to overcome them, she suggested me to undergo cognitive behavioral therapy and after few sessions I noticed many changes in my behavior,my anxiety was reduced, I don't get sleep terrors now which I was facing since last 8 years,it has stopped completely. I started looking at my life in a positive way. Dr. Priyanka taught me to analyze my moods and thought process and to tackle my problems by ourself and not to be dependent on anyone. I'll always be grateful to Dr. Priyanka as she taught me life's important lesson,to overcome my fear and problems and be the best version of myself.

I think going to the therapy with Dr Priyanka has been the best decision of my life so far . We take our mental health for granted so much is what I have realised in the course of therapy . I think she made me really comfortable to be able to open up to her which helped me get to know about my issues that I was dealing with but never paid much attention to . The assurance that someone believes in what you have to say without being judged is what everyone needs while dealing with mental health issues and Dr Priyanka has been the best person to do that . With every session proceeding I realised so much more about myself . I never thought I would be able to heal from the issues that I was facing and thought it was never ending , but here I am , getting better each and every day . I think the CBT therapy has been the best thing that has happened to me so far in my life . I strongly recommend Dr Priyanka to all those who are going through something , she’s the best person to help you with it .

Thank you ..
