Dr. Tanya Anand ^(she/her)🏳️‍🌈

20. November, 2024.

Update: Over 4 years and still going strong with CMH. My current therapist is Arpita Misra, I switched at a plateau in therapy. Arpita has helped me with cognitive loops that I couldn’t exit even with EMDR. Switching therapists was a huge step since it meant having a safe, trusting bond with my erstwhile therapist (Dr Tanya) to venture and explore if Arpita could help me. I am glad we made the transition; it was proof of concept that different styles work at different stages in therapy. How extraordinarily ethical of Dr Tanya to bow out upon seeing I needed Arpita’s style at that time in my journey. How magical to have found safety with not one, not two, but three therapists!
