In this episode we speak with HH Al Sayyida Basma Al Said, a mental health expert specializing in PTSD.

Sayyida Basma shares a bit about her life, reflecting on her time in Australia, being born in the UK and calling Oman home.

 

We cover a lot under the topic of trauma and its effects on people particularly from child abuse and domestic violence. Sayyida Basma explains how emotional manipulation often keeps victims trapped, even when they have the means to leave as well as the misconceptions recognizing triggers and seeking help.
 

We also cover how to start your healing journey which includes therapy and, when appropriate, medication, and most importantly the need for support in overcoming the effects of abuse.
 

She passionately advocates for understanding the mental health struggles many face and encourages listeners to confront their experiences to foster resilience and recovery.

Unconscious Pursuit of Safety and Achievement:
Many people unconsciously seek safety and achievement early in life, driven by financial security and societal pressures. However, as they reflect on their desires, they may discover a deeper search for meaning and fulfillment beyond traditional success.
 

Transition to Embracing Feminine Energy:
The transition from a focus on masculine energy, centered on goals and achievements, to embracing feminine energy is essential. Both energies have their place, and this shift often occurs later in life, leading to more holistic and fulfilling experiences.
 

Embrace Faith, Reject Certainty:
It's crucial to embrace faith and let go of the need for complete certainty when making significant life decisions. Waiting for total safety can lead to paralysis. Instead, have faith, take the leap, and trust yourself to adapt as you go along.
 

Discover True Purpose by Being Authentic:
Your true purpose isn't something external; it's an intrinsic part of your identity. Find it by looking at what comes naturally, your passions, and what makes you feel most authentic. Focus on self-discovery and authenticity in your career and life journey.
