"Even in religious scriptures [mental health] is acknowledged, it's in there...in the Quoran and through the prophet's lives, all of them, and females as well."
Doaa Abdehlraman is an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) in California of Egyptian and Arab background. Doaa's heartwork lies on de-stigmatizing mental health in the Muslim community. In this episode, she shares the unfolding of her cultural and religious identities, her experiences as an Imaam's daughter, the work she does to support refugees, and how she views mental health with an Islamic lens.
Bonus: Doaa shares how she practices Ramadan as a therapist and while dealing with a chronic, inflammatory disease. We hope you stick around and witness the unfolding of her story!
