Tell us what you feel. Message us.

Life can throw a lot of curveballs. There are a lot of factors that impact quality of life, but the ability to handle these emotions effectively can sometimes be the deciding factor.
How different can our life be if we’re truly able to understand ourselves, master our emotions and foster healthy relationships with the people that really matter to us? It's an exciting journey to start on.

But it takes work. What does the work entail? How do we break it down strategically? Hrishika Awasthi, a counseling psychologist and Founder of SafeTherapy, takes us through the process.

We discuss

1. Hrishika’s work on emotional intelligence early on in her career.
2. Understanding emotional intelligence and its components.
3. Can EQ be learnt and developed over time?
4. Strategic approach to learning to unpack and understand your emotions.
5. Role of mindfulness in emotion regulation.
6. How EQ plays out in romantic relationships.
7. How we can make EQ work actionable.
