A Quote Jyothi Resonates With.

"Therapy is a combination of empathy and challenge of kick and stroke.If you have a therapist who is constantly validating what you feel and doesnt challenge you, it’s all stroke and no kick. And if you have a therapist who is only challenging you—or if you feel like they’re not rooting for you—that’s problematic. ~ Salvador Minuchin"
