First time seeking help. I found a psychiatrist who also offers psychotherapy. Is it good to have one that offers both or should I find a separate therapist as well? Thank you 🙏

Meet w him/her. See if the chemistry is right for psychotherapy. Could be just what you need.

Are you thinking you will need/want medication? I would think meeting with someone that offers both is convenient but I would want to make sure I connect well with them for psychotherapy, otherwise they should be able to recommend someone else before you think about medication.

Hi, I started my Digital Marketing business about 7-8 months ago with only 2.7 lakh rupees. I've been facing losses every month since then. I understand that I'm failing because I am working alone. I need to know what I'm doing wrong with my pitch and my approach to onboard new clients.

Also I am open to discussing partners and investors even though I have nothing extraordinary to offer right now. But I have a really good brand, story, and grit to make it big with the right help.

How do you deal with irrational anxiety whenever your boss is saying “hey let’s schedule 1:1, I’ve got a few things to discuss”?
