Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. Behaviour includes all of our outward or overt actions and reactions, such as verbal and facial expressions and movements.
Mental processes refer to all the internal and covert activity of our mind such as thinking, feeling and remembering. It is a scientific study because to study behaviour and mental processes, the psychologists use the scientific methods for understanding more precisely and accurately. The word Psychology has its origin from two Greek words ‘Psyche’ and ‘Logos’, ‘psyche’ means ‘soul’ and ‘logos’ means ‘study’. Thus literally, Psychology means ‘the study of soul’ or ‘science of soul’.

THEME OF SESSION: NEUROPLASTICITY: LEARN THE SCIENCE THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
THIS SESSION WAS AIMED AT NEUROPLASTICITY. NEUROPLASTICITY IS Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, or neural plasticity, is the ability of the brain to change continuously throughout an individual's life, e.g., brain activity associated with a given function can be transferred to a different location, the proportion of grey matter can change and synapses may strengthen or weaken over time. The aim of neuroplasticity is to optimize the neural networks during phylogenesis, ontogeny and physiological learning, as well as after a brain injury.[1] Research in the latter half of the 20th century showed that many aspects of the brain can be altered (or are "plastic") even through adulthood. However, the developing brain exhibits a higher degree of plasticity than the adult brain.
FIRST WEBINAR WAS CONDUCTED ON 23 RD APRIL BY INTERNAL

Expressive arts therapy may incorporate writing, drama, dance, movement, painting, and/or music. People utilizing expressive arts therapy are encouraged by a qualified therapist to explore their responses, reactions, and insights through pictures, sounds, explorations, and encounters with art processes. A person is not required to have artistic ability to use or benefit from expressive arts therapy.

Introduction
Autosuggestion is the basis of most hypnotism. An “autosuggestion” or “self-suggestion” is a suggestion which you give to yourself. It can take the form of a verbal affirmation or sometimes a mental image. Self-hypnosis was invented in the early 1840s by the Scottish physician and surgeon, James Braid, the founder of hypnotherapy. Braid didn’t use the word “autosuggestion” but he did define hypnotism as a state of focused attention on an “expectant, dominant idea”. Braid therefore thought that all hypnosis was essentially self-hypnosis. He later compared “self-hypnotism”, as he actually called it, to the meditation techniques of ancient Indian yoga though insisting that hypnotism worked by means of simple, common sense, psychological principles.
DR. DEEPIKA CHAMOLI ON RELAXATION THERAPY FOR PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS.
MANAV
It was relaxing and interesting. We were taught the auto suggestion method to relax which works for us even now and we could do it on our own as well.
HONEY
Auto suggestion or hypnosis session was great and interesting as well. I feel so calm and relax after that auto suggestion session.

My hypnosis experience was very good as it made me more relaxed and taught different ways to control my anger and also to be a better person in life
I would like to thank you ma'am and sir for the session.
It was relaxing and interesting. We were taught the auto suggestion method to relax which works for us even now and we could do it on our own as well.

STRESS
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous.
Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline. But when stress lasts for a long time, it may harm your health. At present scenario stress that is building is dangerous it can lead to frustration, aggression and emotional instability if persists over longer period of time. To deal with these kinds of situations relaxation is the best option to optimise your emotions to deal with this we brought “VISUALIZATION AND GUIDED IMAGERY TECHNIQUE FOR STRESS REDUCTION”.
The practice of guided imagery is extremely portable, as it relies on nothing more than one's imagination and concentration abilities which people always have at their disposal (provided they aren't exhausted). However, like most techniques requiring mental concentration, it is usually most successfully practiced without interruption in a setting that is free from distracting stimulation. The bathroom can be used in a pinch, if no other suitably private and peaceful location is available.
It can be done by self-suggestion but better done if instructions are given by expert in the field. Reason being your mental processes will be involved in relaxation processes so it may happen you many sleep and skip or not able to carry the steps
MANAV
Whole session was divided into three days first day was focussed on stress and its relation to youth and conditions at present times. Second day Archana maam conducted relaxation therapy it was wonderful experience. On third day Satish sir had discussion with real life aspects.

The topic focused on Dry Eye Syndrome, diagnosis and treatment options. Students learned about Evaporative Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction as main causes of Dry Eye Disease.
Lifestyle concerns such as nutrition and overuse of screens also contribute to dry eyes eyes. Studebnts also learned about The duifference between Evaporative and Aqueous deficient dry eyes. Students were introduced to Lipiview and Lipiflow technologies. Lipiflow, using Vector Thermal Pulsation rather than Intra Pulse Laser (IPL) therapy. Treatment with Lipiflow actually clears the existing meibomian glands and allows better functioning.

Students and faculty alike had a great session of learning and advancement in the field of dry eye therapy.

I strongly believe students should get this type of exposure on periodical basis as it adds to their knowledge. On 18th of November all the psychology students went to Earth Saviors Foundation where they had interactive session with staffs and people who live there as well as with the founder of the NGO . Besides this they visited various sections
The experience at Earth Savior Foundation was amazing. I got to learn a lot from there. I would like to visit the place once again.
The experience was very good at the Earth saviour foundation. I got to know a lot by talking to the people about their lives and the people there were friendly and kind.
The experience was great at earth saviour foundation. I came to know about many things like, how different people deal with their problems, what different kind of people are there in our society, by interacting with them. It was a good experience.
We visited the Earth Savior Foundation at Bhandwari village on 18th of November. It was a visit full of new experiences which taught us a lot. The old people we met were amazing, vibrant people. I would like to visit the place again just to meet the old people once more.
My experience at The Earth Saviours Foundation was very fantastic. I loved it. I saw people with mental health issues. They were all very nice. It was not difficult to deal with them. I learned that every person is special and has a heart. We went there and sung a song for them. After that we also included them and they enjoyed themselves. I would also like to visit them again.
My experience with the earth saviour foundation was great as I got to know about a lot of things regarding their lives. People there were very kind and welcoming.
My experience at NGO the earth saviours foundation which is located in gurugram was great. All the people at NGO were very kind and humble.

They had a rescue center to look after mentally disabled people.
They had a jia nari niketan shelter to look after deprived females.
They also celebrated different festival and provided entertainment for the residents to offer joy, happiness and hope to live with dignity.

Sushant school of health sciences student went for an industrial trip to the Mother Dairy largest plant at Patparganj, Delhi on 15th Nov,19. Mother Dairy is one of the largest, liquid milk company in Asia. It started its operations in 1974 under the Operation Flood Programme of National Dairy Development Board.
Students were briefed about the procurement and processing of the milk. They were also explained the testing processes for multiple parameters. Firstly, the presentation explaining in detail all five processes from Standardization to pasteurization was explained with all its procedures and importance. Then students were led to main insulated central area from where they were shown all the chambers in which milk was going through all the processes.
Insights about adulteration also was interesting for the students, how adulterants like urea can be detected from milk sample through basic tests. The students were informed about 25 main tests for which mother dairy is known to maintain its high-quality standards.
At last, all the students were given Mother Dairy flavoured milk and ice-creams. Overall it was an informative as well as fun experience for the students.
Our Mother dairy visit helped us in many terms. Earlier we used to see milk as a normal product, after our mother dairy visit took place, we got to know the importance of milk in an individual’s life. Earlier, we just had a theoretical knowledge about the technique of pasteurization, but in this visit, we got to see this process practically. Overall a very informative visit!
Vishesh , MLTIII
It was overall a very explorative and nice initiative from Sushant University. We were being practically shown all the process through which milk is being processed and tests to check adulteration.
Harshit Ahuja , OPTOM III
It was an immense pleasure for all of us from the Pharma batch to have such an informative industrial visit to Mother Dairy. We came to know about lot of things that we never pondered on. From the milkman to our home, the journey of milk was explained so well. We would like to have such knowledgeable industrial visit again.
