About Therapist Nimra Khattak

I am Nimra and I am a clinical psychologist or you can say therapist. As a therapist and as a clinical psychologist, I have come across a lot of people who suffered because of their wrong choices. We are so confused about our needs and desires that we have no idea what is a right choice for ourselves. I do believe that social pressure is one of the causes of wrong decisions too. When you are already confused and society pressurizes you more, one may make a wrong decision in such a situation. I wanted to write this article to make us realize we have the decision in our own hands. The consequences just follow it. We should be able to make the right decision once we know about our needs. This article will help you in understanding what you need and how you can make the right decisions to help you to live a happy life.
