The mother unable to balance the family, has been overly accommodating to the needs of others. Sara was uncertain about her future, lost her confidence and wanted to quit her studies.

With help from her counsellor, she gained understanding of her internal tensions and behavioural patterns, which enabled her to change her body language. Slowly, she began interacting comfortably with her family and encouraged them to have a family goal, which gave her settlement and hope in life. ❞

❝ Paru had recently recovered from a stroke which had turned her life upside down.

She had gone from being a caring, and supportive mother to being a doubtful and confused woman, requiring assistance from her children. Moreover, despite her medication, she still panicked and her doctor stated that everything would get better over time. But Paru’s insecurity and depression made her quite ill. In addition, she struggled with her decision whether to be with her daughter or return to her native village.

The counsellor stayed with her mindfully, carefully listening and assisted her in identifying the reason for her underlying struggles.
