Before you begin
A few things
you might ask.
About TherapaJi, participation and what happens to your answers.
What is TherapaJi?
TherapaJi brings together original Punjabi stories, the 167 Hours podcast, articles, resources and community listening. Watch a film, find a conversation, or explore something practical. You choose where to begin.
Is TherapaJi a therapy practice?
No. TherapaJi is not a therapy practice and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or emergency support. Amar’s clinical training is separate from TherapaJi. This site offers education, advocacy, reflection tools, community learning, and resource pathways.
What is Saadi Gall?
Saadi Gall is TherapaJi’s private community listening check-in. You answer only what fits, receive a private reflection first, and then choose whether to submit anonymous answers for combined community learning. Saving is optional.
What happens to my answers?
Your private reflection appears before any save choice. If you choose to submit, TherapaJi stores anonymous answers for grouped learning. We do not ask for your name, contact information, exact address, city, or anything that should identify you.
Why ask anonymous community questions?
There is not enough culturally specific listening around Punjabi family roles, migration, language, provider pressure, and the ways people describe emotional weight in real life. Anonymous answers help TherapaJi build better resources without pretending one person’s story represents everyone.
Who is TherapaJi for?
TherapaJi is for Punjabi and South Asian families, first-gen kids, parents, providers, elders, practitioners, and anyone trying to find language for what their community carries. Some work begins with Punjabi Sikh experiences, but the broader goal is culturally aware mental health support across the diaspora.
How can I get involved?
Watch Sukhi’s Story, bring a memory or scene idea to the community story room, or explore the resources. Saadi Gall is a separate, optional community-listening choice. Practitioners can apply to the directory.
