✋️ Generational trauma ends here ⚠️Supporting Muslim women with perfectionism, people-pleasing, toxic conditioning+ trauma TO Live their dream life
I was depressed. I was anxious. I had lost all hope that I could ever recover from mental illness. My mind was holding me hostage. My faith was being impacted. My body was reacting badly. I couldn’t see a way out.
Finding my way out through the maze of my mind was a deeply spiritual but also highly isolating experience. It was full of shame, confusion, and stigma and there was always a need for more resources and support.
Now I’m a Trainee Counsellor (registered with the BACP) eager to utilize my knowledge, experience, and passion in the field of self-development, wellness, counseling, psychology, Islam, spirituality, and mental health to help women reclaim their voice.
With time, I realized that my healing was tied not only to my personal trauma but also to the toxic societal, and intergenerational conditioning and trauma. This shaped how I thought I should go around being a “woman” but also how I thought, felt and behaved around other fundamental areas of my life such as life, parenting, and personality.
Mostly, it all made me feel very powerless, trapped, small and helpless.
