Salaam alaikum warahamtullah wabraktu (peace ladies!)


Ever get the feeling that well-meaning advice to "be more mindful" just makes things worse? Like it's adding another layer of pressure to an already overflowing plate?


Today's video dives into the surprising truth: some therapeutic advice, including mindfulness practices such as using the wristband to be more conscious of thoughts, can actually backfire and retraumatize people who have experienced physical abuse.


We'll explore why this happens and what you can do to navigate your healing journey in a way that feels empowering. (If you've been through physical abuse and this is a trigger, feel free to sit this one out. I'll see you on the next episode!)
