Your Finance Advisor is Your Therapist (And You Don’t Even Know It)

Scene 1: The Panicked Client

Mumbai, 2023. A frazzled 35-year-old IT manager, Rahul, storms into his financial advisor’s office.

Rahul (slamming his laptop): "The market crashed AGAIN! My portfolio is bleeding! Should I sell everything and buy gold? Crypto? Maybe a chai tapri franchise?!"

Advisor (Mr. Kapoor) (calmly pouring tea): "Tell me, Rahul… when you see red in your portfolio, do you also feel… unworthy?"

Rahul blinks. "…Are you my therapist now?"

Scene 2: The "Therapy" Session

Mr. Kapoor (leaning back): "Let’s diagnose your real problem:

1. Anxiety: You check your portfolio 10x/day.

2. FOMO: Your cousin’s ‘Bitcoin Lambo’ triggers you.

3. Impulse Control: You treat stocks like Zomato orders—‘Buy Now, Regret Later.’"*

Rahul (sheepish): "Okay, maybe I do need help."

Mr. Kapoor (smirking): *"Prescription:

• 1 SIP (to cure timing addiction)

• 0% CNBC (reduce emotional volatility)

• Daily reminder: ‘Markets recover. Always.’"*

Scene 3: The Breakthrough

One year later…

Rahul (relaxed, sipping chai): "I didn’t sell during the crash. My SIPs bought more units cheap. I… I think I’m healed?"

Mr. Kapoor (grinning): "No. You’re just financially stable. That’s better."

Moral of the Story

"A good finance advisor doesn’t just manage your money—they manage your mindset."

Why This Works:
✅ Humor: Equating panic-selling to needing therapy.
✅ Relatable: Every Indian investor has been Rahul at some point.
✅ Lesson: Behavior matters more than stock picks.

Tagline: "Your portfolio isn’t the problem—your brain is."
