Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this insightful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Amita Ghosh, a psychotherapist and retreat leader specializing in blending Eastern philosophy with Western psychology. With over 30 years of experience, Amita shares how modern mental health approaches often focus on symptom management, whereas ancient Eastern traditions prioritize deep healing at the source.

They discuss the importance of mindfulness, breathwork, and Ayurvedic principles in mental well-being, and how these practices can be integrated into Western therapeutic methods for lasting transformation. If you’ve ever wondered whether talk therapy alone is enough or if true healing requires a more holistic approach, this conversation is for you!
