Description |
Sakshi is an APPA Certified Philosophical Counselor, She holds a Master’s Degree in Philosophy from the University of Delhi, India. Additionally, She has acquired a Specialisation in Mindfulness and Well-Being from Rice University, TX, USA, along with several Certifications in the field of Health Coaching- Managing Stress and Emotions, Health and Well-Being, Morality and Finding Meaning and Purpose from esteemed Universities like Yale, CT, USA, Imperial College London, UK and University of Michigan, MI, USA. In her sessions, she practices Philosophical Midwifery with her clients. This unique mode of philosophical counseling is a modern adaptation of Socratic midwifery pioneered by Pierre Grimes. The term “Philosophical Midwifery” is inspired by Plato’s dialogue, The Theaetetus. In this dialogue, Socrates likens his work to midwifery, because he assists in the delivery of men who are pregnant with either true ideas or false beliefs. It is a purely rational method of pursing questions, a dialectic, that uncovers false beliefs, traces them to their origins, and by understanding their roots and influence on one’s life — deflates their influence. |
