I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2021 after a series of traumatic incidents I faced. Suddenly I lost the desire to seek help. I approached almost 4 people for therapy and instead of helping me they made me feel guilty for my past & inability to move on. I had no hopes and I wasn't expecting any help when I contacted Tending Minds. But everything changed when I met Purva Kadaganchi Ma'am and she took my case very seriously and showed me compassion like nobone else. Even at times I had given up on therapy, she reached out herself with so much care & compassion that I started seeing hope.
I didn't know anything about C-PTSD and she's been helping me a lot & now I'm doing better. Suicidal thoughts were a challenge and because of her help I am able to manage them.
The whole staff of Tending Minds is very gentle & caring. I will always be thankful to all the therapists who have such a gentle approach towards struggling people.
