One client currently undergoing therapy with city-based clinical psychologist Seema Hingorrany is 30-year-old Rohan Savla (name changed), a high-achieving Mumbai professional. He is suffering from depression. “He was intellectualising life too much, leading to an obsessive compulsive personality trait. He felt the urge to read constantly and work all the time. At home too, he would talk only about success and achievements with his wife. During therapy, he realised that he wasn’t giving himself a break to rejuvenate. He believed that successful people don’t take a break, as they will lose out on time to achieve. He developed chronic back problems along with severe anxiety, both stress-related. Therapy helped him streamline his thought process and regain balance of life,” reveals Hingorrany.
