    How to Break the Cycle of Emotional Pain

    Dr. Dana Al Marzouqi, a family physician with a deep passion for mental health and prevention, helps individuals and families build the emotional awareness and psychological resilience they need to move through life's everyday challenges. In this special episode of Rewire, we walk alongside her on the journey she shares with her patients, where she speaks about the role of the family doctor as the bridge between body and mind, the importance of psychological resilience in facing life's pressures, and how to meet our emotions rather than suppress them. She also explores the impact of upbringing and social conditioning on our mental wellbeing, the intergenerational trauma that passes down without us realizing, and the practical steps for breaking the cycle of emotional pain and raising a more conscious, healthier generation.
