I’m finding Clubhouse rooms so therapeutic, that I feel stronger after talking to strangers, and have stopped therapy. My therapist says it’s fine, but I’m not sure. What do you think?

Human connection and communication is tremendously therapeutic.
Part of what makes therapy so helpful is the ability to feel seen and heard.
It sounds like Clubhouse rooms are doing that for you and there’s nothing wrong with finding strength in that. The only thing to be mindful of is that there are certain things that only professionals are qualified to help you with and this is not that.
Money talk with dad
My dad won’t stop investing in stocks and as he has no idea, he loses a lot of money. My mom ignores the problem and I feel he will just dismiss me if I speak. How can I approach the topic with him gently?
—Roohi K, Delhi
Money is a sensitive topic on the best day, so subtlety is the key. Broaching the subject directly might make him feel attacked. But you can point your father in the right direction. Gift him a book on investing, send him links to financial blogs or articles or find him a good podcast. This way, you’re being supportive and encouraging him to learn more about his interests.
