In today’s episode, Shay Beider welcomes Dr. Chhatwal to discuss her personal philosophy for healing, known as intentional evolution. She shares thoughts on the stigma surrounding mental health in India, and how it led her to the field of psychiatry. Dr. Chhatwal opens up about her own personal trauma with the tragic loss of her father, and shines light on her perspective that healing is an ever-evolving journey.
