In this episode, Dr Shyam answers a question: " Since starting therapy, I have started to feel bad about my parents, and my relationship with them. I used to think we have a good relationship but now I am angry with them, what do I do?"

Our relationship with our parents is one of the cornerstones of our development and personality, and this relationship is often examined and explored in therapy. How does culture affect our ability to explore this relationship and how must we understand and process this relationship in therapy?

What are the two polarities of relationships with parents and how can you find a happy balance so as to truly individuate and become yourself?

In this episode of State of Mind, Dr Shyam Bhat guides a meditation on Self-Love and Self-Acceptance, so that you experience the powerful feeling of inner acceptance, rather than just thoughts.

Emotional Awareness Meditation (The Subtle Art of Positivity Pt 2)

The first step towards letting go of feelings is to be aware of them, to experience them in mind and body without resistance, with a sense of safety.
This meditation builds on the ideas discussed in my previous video , so it would help to review those concepts prior to this practice.

State of Mind with Dr. Shyam Bhat is a podcast for all things mental health integrating insights from western psychiatry and eastern healing practices
