    6D AGO

    The Dating and Break up Crisis: Why People Ghost, Detach, and Leave So Fast

    Modern dating has changed and so have breakups. In this episode of Said In Therapy, we unpack the rise of the “emotional disappearance”: situationships, avoidant attachment, the slow fade, ghosting, and why so many people detach the moment things start feeling real. If you’ve ever been blindsided by someone who seemed all-in… then suddenly “wasn’t ready,” this episode is for you. We break down what’s actually happening beneath the surface psychologically, why finding a serious partner feels harder than ever, and how to protect your heart without becoming emotionally numb. You’ll learn how to spot emotional unavailability early, the difference between chemistry and nervous system addiction, and what to look for if you want real commitment in a dating culture built around avoidance. In this episode we cover: Why breakups feel colder and more confusing nowThe avoidant attachment cycle (and why it’s so addictive)Situationship culture + dating apps impactWhy people leave at the first sign of discomfortHow to date for emotional capacity (not potential)How to heal after unclear endings and rebuild self-trust If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs clarity and remember: stability is the new romance.

  2. Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Healing

    Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Healing

    Healing doesn’t stop hurting just because you understand it. I recorded this episode from a place I don’t talk about often — the beginning of my training, when I lost someone I loved and learned, very quickly, that insight doesn’t protect you from pain. In this episode, I share how that experience reshaped the way I understand healing, both as a psychologist and as a human. We talk about grief, self-awareness, and why functioning isn’t the same as being healed. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be further along by now,” this one is for you. There is no timeline your nervous system is late for.

    Birthday Special 2026!

    A birthday special with a big-picture conversation. In this episode of Said in Therapy, I hand the mic to my close friend Amanda, who steps in as guest host to interview me on another year of growth. Together, they dive into what self-care really looks like beyond the buzzwords, how therapy has shapes the personal and professional journey, and the mindset I am carrying into 2026. The conversation also expands outward, exploring thoughtful predictions on how AI may impact society, relationships, and mental health in the years ahead. Reflective and with an attempt to be forward-looking, this episode blends celebration with meaningful dialogue and, as always, leaves space for curiosity, healing, and much more. Happy new year!

    Self-Compassion and the Inner Critic

    In this episode of Said in Therapy we dives into the powerful topic of self-compassion and the inner critic, that harsh voice inside us that keeps us stuck in cycles of shame and self-doubt. Why do we listen to it? How can we start talking to ourselves with kindness instead of criticism? And what actually happens when we shift from self-judgment to self-compassion.

    3aib: Shame, Silence, and Mental Health

    We unpack the powerful and deeply rooted word: “3aib", the  shame that has silenced generations across the Middle East when it comes to mental health. We explore how this cultural code of silence has kept pain  behind closed doors, and what it means to finally speak the unspeakable. You'll hear the story of Sara, a young woman who broke the cycle, chose therapy, and opened a path for healing, not just for herself, but for her family.
