🧠 Meet the Mind Behind Guilt Free Mind

Dr. Shruti Bhattacharya, Ph.D. (Immunology)

Mental Health Blogger | Trauma Survivor | Art Therapy Advocate

Hello and a warm welcome to Guilt Free Mind.

I’m Dr. Shruti Bhattacharya — a researcher, mental health blogger, trauma survivor, dog mom, and passionate advocate for healing through creative expression. Through Guilt Free Mind, I aim to create a safe and empowering space where emotional wounds are acknowledged, understood, and gently transformed into strength.

🌱 My Journey:

My path to emotional healing wasn’t straightforward. In 2018, I was diagnosed with a severe idiopathic pain disorder. That same year, I survived a near-fatal car accident — an event that left deep physical scars and even deeper emotional ones. The constant, debilitating pain and the PTSD that followed almost shattered me.

One day, in the middle of my darkest moments, I picked up an old set of poster colors and a paintbrush. I began painting, purely on instinct. To my surprise, it soothed the relentless agony. What started as a desperate experiment became a profound discovery: art had the power to heal what words could not.

Since then, I have used art, observation, emotional insight, and deep self-study to reclaim my life from trauma. And I believe you can too.

💬 Why Guilt Free Mind Exists:

Originally, I started Guilt Free Mind to share the incredible power of art therapy. But as I connected with more people, I realized that art alone is just one part of the bigger picture. Mental health is complex — it’s shaped by trauma, daily stresses, societal pressure, and inner wounds that many of us silently carry.

Today, Guilt Free Mind covers a wider range of topics, including:

• Coping strategies for PTSD and trauma

• Emotional self-care and healing techniques

• Art therapy exercises and creative outlets

• Understanding human behavior and emotional reactions

• Daily mental wellness practices

I don’t claim to have all the answers — but I promise you will find understanding, empathy, and actionable guidance here.

🧠 My Background:

• Ph.D. in Immunology: Years of scientific training taught me how to approach problems systematically, question deeply, and seek evidence-based solutions.

• Graphologist (natural ability): I have an innate knack for understanding handwriting and signatures, which has enhanced my insight into human psychology.

• Lived Experience with PTSD and Chronic Pain: I have firsthand knowledge of the invisible battles many people fight every day.

📬 Let’s Heal Together:

Healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It is personal, painful, beautiful, and ongoing.
If you feel lost, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want to understand yourself better, you’re in the right place.
