Do shubharthis feel the absence of professionals at the weekly meetings?
None has experienced it so far. In the non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere of our group meetings, the need for a professional is unlikely to be felt. It is possible that the shubharthi is already in touch with his doctor or counselor. Further it is not that professionals never visit our SHSG. They lecture or guide, once in a while, at our invitation.
