This podcast is where therapy meets faith and tradition. Too often, we search for therapists who share our beliefs, hoping for a space that truly understands us. As a Muslim and practicing therapist, I felt the need to explore this intersection—to have real conversations about where faith and psychology align, how we can grow, and how healing can be both spiritual and psychological. Most importantly, mental health doesn’t discriminate—believer or not, we all face struggles. Join me in reflecting, questioning, and making space for a something that is dear to our heart, mind, and soul.

We further explore the concept of fitrah faith dissonance and its impact on women's psychological well-being. The discussion emphasizes the importance of healing through both cognitive and emotional pathways, while also addressing the challenges posed by difficult religious texts. We advocate for the creation of supportive communities and the empowerment of women to navigate their spiritual journeys with agency and discernment.</p><p><strong>Hadith:</strong></p><p>I said: Messenger of Allah, how should we approach our wives and how should we leave them?

<p><strong>Part 1: </strong>In this conversation, we explore the complex topic of spiritual wounds in women, particularly within the context of Islamic psychology. We discuss the concept of spiritual lacerations, the dissonance between faith and personal experience, and the impact of cultural narratives on women's mental health. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of questioning traditional interpretations of religious texts and the need for women's voices to be heard in discussions about faith. Through case studies and personal anecdotes, we highlight the challenges women face in reconciling their spiritual identities with societal expectations and the significance of attachment styles in shaping one's relationship with God.</p><p><strong>Resources</strong>:</p><p>A Commentary on the Hadīth of Women& Intelligence.
