Reposted from my blog for Times Of India Digital Edition, https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/lifestyles-online/living-under-the-bundle-of-expectations/ Recently, I had to start psychotherapy, because of the stress of things that I had been feeling lately.

Grow through what you go through
We have all heard the saying, “Grow through what you go through.” And we love to tell others this too, do we not? And we post it on social media as well. But is it so easy? Easier said than done. When you go through something, you get stuck in that. It’s the loop that…
