She explained that there is a strong confidentiality bond which the therapist cannot break when it comes to their client. She added that people should realize that their therapist will never leak their information to anyone. Talking about her own personal experiences, Navya added that she has never felt uncomfortable sharing anything with her therapist.

Navya went on to say that she was extremely nervous about opening up in her first therapy session. She compared visiting a therapist to that of visiting a doctor. She explained that people know why they are visiting a doctor while they may be clueless about why they are visiting a therapist.

She added that she still gets uncomfortable with telling them upfront about her therapy sessions. Lastly, she also added that apart from therapy, surrounding herself with her loved ones also made her feel more secure.
