Parvathy Thiruvothu: Therapy Saved Me From Suicidal Thoughts

Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu has opened up about a profoundly distressing period in her life, marked by intense loneliness, trauma, and suicidal thoughts. She candidly discussed her challenging journey to find effective therapy, emphasizing that while therapy proved to be a life-altering decision, the initial process involved many difficult experiences. Parvathy noted the struggle to find a therapist who didn't view her as a public figure.

During one of her darkest phases, Parvathy revealed that loneliness became overwhelming, leading her to believe her situation was beyond help. She experienced suicidal thoughts, particularly around January-February 2021, before therapy eventually began to yield positive results. The actress shared that her healing journey significantly improved upon finding the right treatment methods.

Parvathy's recovery was notably aided by EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy, which she described as life-changing. She is now undergoing EMDR along with treatment from a trauma-informed therapist and a sex therapist. This multifaceted approach has helped her address mental strength, feelings of shame, and rediscover herself, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
