I was struggling to fit in, and everywhere I went, I felt like there was something off with my being there. Carrying this fueled my inner voice, which told me that they were talking about me and that I did not belong. Growing up, I and my family represented a religious minority that also carried visible signs of our identity through our clothing. My inner dialogue drove me to isolation, and I felt I lost touch with reality, questioning everything around me to the point where I longed for eternal rest. Studying psychology and coming from a traditional background, I found it hard to find spaces to share my struggles with my family, which increased my feeling of loneliness. See how I met the mental health organization Shamiri through a career fair and how their app Rafi motivated me to start my own therapeutic journey. The therapist supported me in facing my intrusive thoughts and suppressed feelings. See how I learnt to open up a new space to see the dualism in the world despite my challenges. Helping me to affirm myself and reconnect with my heritage and start nurturing my self-worth, and allowing me to have a vulnerable and strong foundation with which I could become the therapist I wanted to be for others. This is my story.
