Let’s walk hand in hand into the tangles of mental health in the Arab world. One of our heaviest topics this season, we delve deep into the minds of our peoples’ imposed generational trauma, the power of resilience and the importance of community. Our book recommendations this episode are The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, Asfuriyyeh: A History of Madness, Modernity, and War in the Middle East by Joelle M. Abi-Rached, and the works of Susan Abulhawa, Etaf Rum and Dr. Gabor Maté.
