Psycho Social Matters
Musings of a Psychologist
All The Info
I have lived in Chennai, India for over two decades now. I began studying Psychology in high school, pursued B.Sc in Psychology from JBAS (Madras University, Chennai) and M.Sc in Counselling Psychology from Christ University (Bangalore). In my spare time, I watch movies, read books, travel with family and friends, or just simply goof around!
I am passionate about exploring the human mind and behaviour, and want to share such adventures with you in a simple and relatable way, without the technical mumbo jumbo. Although this project is starting out as a personal blog, it is not just about me. It is about us having meaningful conversations around psycho social aspects of humanity. I welcome your feedback, blog comments, likes, shares, retweets, and blog proposals.
Let's build a community together!
With lots of love,
Namritha Anbarasan
