Tuluma also listed the different ways a person could be healed through therapy:

Increased Self-Awareness

“Clients may start recognising triggers, understanding their reactions, and becoming more mindful of patterns in their behaviour.”

Shift in Perspective

"Over time, clients might adopt a more compassionate view of themselves and others, feeling less guilt or shame and more empathy."

Healthier Relationships

“As clients heal, they often experience stronger boundaries, better communication, and decreased conflict in relationships.”

Resilience and Empowerment

“Feeling more equipped to handle challenges, make decisions, and prioritise their needs is a significant marker of healing.”

Social media users appreciated the lady's kind words and commented:

@Ntebo Phalatse was grateful for the emotional support: 

"Thank you for going through this with us as a nation of South Africa."
