Dr. Saliha Afridi, a clinical psychologist and founder of The Lighthouse Arabia, joins the show to explore the deeper layers of modern mental health—far beyond symptom charts and surface fixes. There’s a growing trend of chasing quick solutions like psychedelics or wellness hacks, but Saliha makes it clear: true healing requires reflection, patience, and real self-connection. From high achievers masking anxiety to the silent cost of unprocessed grief, she’s bringing insights into how therapy—and especially men’s inner work—is evolving.
