Swishing Mindsets with Anuradha Varma: Ep 42: Bhavana Nissima: What is mental space psychology?
Update: 2025-01-13
Description
Everything that exists in the physical universe is located in space. “We carry a village in our heads. All our senses, our people and feelings are literally directed and mapped out in the space around us,” says Bhavana Nissima.
Or put loosely, we live in a 3D world, inside our heads and outside of it. Mental Space Psychology “works with our individual constructs to overcome obstacles, stop limiting beliefs and achieve goals.”
In this episode, Bhavana Nissima talks about using space as a therapeutic tool, playing with language, frames, feelings and through other cognitive methods. Whether it’s a bad boss or a tough relationship, there are tools to create a shift towards feeling hopeful once again. She generously demonstrates how to prepare ourselves for difficult conversations using the “Negotiation Panorama” technique.
Bhavana, who calls herself the Lightweaver, has a PhD in Communication from University of New Mexico, USA and is the pioneer of Mental Space Psychology in India and Founder Director of Mental Space Academy India.
