The Happiness Coach in Jaipur
In Jaipur, you can complete an internship with a duration of 4-12 weeks at a psychotherapeutic practice that uses a wide range of treatment approaches. The practice is led by a "Happiness Coach" psychologist who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. The clinic and its team treat a broad spectrum of psychological challenges, including depression, anxiety disorders, addictions, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. The clientele comes mainly from Jaipur's upper-middle and upper classes and includes all age groups.
The Therapeutic Approach
The practice's therapeutic approach is based on resolving psychological problems without the use of medication. To achieve this, classic psychotherapeutic methods are combined with integrative forms of therapy, such as those known from Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a traditional Indian healing art that views health as a balance between body, mind, and soul. To maintain or restore this balance, various approaches like diet, herbal medicine, yoga, meditation, and massage are used.
The psychologist selects the appropriate therapy from a repertoire of over 50 different approaches. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). The offerings are supplemented with approaches like hypnosis, couples therapy, mindfulness training, yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques such as singing bowl and Kansa Thali foot massages. Newer methods like neuroplasticity training or cognitive drill therapy (CDT) are also part of the program.
This internship is a unique opportunity to gain deep insight into combining classic psychotherapeutic approaches with traditional methods. It's a rare chance to witness firsthand the psychotherapeutic work with a wide range of psychological challenges and to understand how different cultures and approaches can be integrated into modern psychology. This internship offers particularly valuable insights for students interested in alternative or holistic healing methods.
Tasks for Interns
Interns can read case studies and progress reports, observe therapy sessions, and actively assist. Every Saturday, you also have the chance to attend group therapy sessions and experience the open exchange between patients.
Your daily working hours are between 4 and 8 hours. The exact times will be arranged with the practice.
