What happens to your sense of self when the story you've lived your whole life turns out to be incomplete?Sneha Satheendran is a practicing psychologist; someone trained to help others navigate their minds. But at 23, she received news that quietly dismantled everything she thought she knew about herself: she had been adopted as a baby.In this episode, Sneha and I talk about what it really means to rebuild your identity from the ground up; not as a patient, but as a human being in the middle of her own unraveling. We also talk about grief. Sneha lost her father at 30. And this conversation became something unexpected for me too, because I know that loss personally.This episode is for you if:You were adopted and are still making sense of what that means for who you areYou're a parent considering adoption and want to understand your child's inner worldYou're going through grief and it's bigger than people around you understandYour belief system has been shaken and you're not sure how to rebuildWe don't wrap this one up neatly. But we do find our way through it, together.Resources :To contact Rashmi Sundaram – rashmisundaram.letstalk@gmail.comTo contact Sneha Satheendran – https://www.snehasatheendran.com/About the Host :Host Rashmi Sundaram is a Mental Health Practitioner and Facilitator, certified in Basic Counseling (IAOTH), MA Psychology, and currently pursuing advanced training in Transactional Analysis and Psychodrama.
