The Baal Veer actress is certified in personal counseling and also in conscious parenting as well as a double certification in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). The actress who is now planning to do Masters in the subject said, “Earlier, I didn’t even know the difference between a counselor, a psychologist and a psychiatrist, but now I’m better equipped. Counseling is a huge responsibility since you are dealing with a human mind. If a counselor is not equipped with proper education and experience, he/she will make the patient sicker than before. So, I’ve chosen the conventional route. I started pursuing parenting courses officially in 2020.”
Shweta who is said to be a depression survivor herself says, “Having experienced acute postpartum depression, I no longer view life as casually as I did before. Most tend to use the term ‘depression’ loosely. It is real. It’s a chemical change in our body and not just a low feeling or something that stems from boredom. If left untreated, it has long-drawn consequences. I suffered for five years. While I had my husband (actor Manav Gohil) and family’s support during this time, it was difficult for them to understand what I was going through. I wanted to lend a hand and an ear to others with the right tools, hence studying became the next organic step to understanding the disease.”
