The Writing Therapy Guy · Chandigarh, India · Online worldwide
Harshit Bhatia,
Writing Therapist & Narrative Practitioner
I help overthinkers turn the loop in their head into words on a page.
My story
From stories that sell to stories that heal.
I started Content Vista, a marketing and narrative agency. Eight years and 600 plus clients across the US, UK and Middle East.
I learned that businesses run on stories. Then I realised people do too. That turn became this practice.

My approach
East meets West.
Eastern
Vedanta, Taoism, Sikhi. The question underneath: who are you beyond the story.
Western
Narrative therapy, Pennebaker's expressive writing, Jungian thought. The question underneath: what story are you living.
Current research
Sound and Story.
Music as an emotional catalyst in writing. How sound alters memory and rhythm reshapes metaphor.
Sessions often open with sound first, words second.
