Hello and Salaam Jigars and Jaans,
In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Husna Safi, a psychotherapist in Canada.   She is an Afghan registered clinical social worker and provides a tailored approach using a bio-psycho social model of care to treat anxiety, trauma, and attachment issues. Come join us in this conversation where we discuss healing, finding a sense of belonging, connection, generational trauma and more!  She provides invaluable insights on where stigma comes from in Afghans and shares some tools and techniques.  This was truly a profound conversation that I know all Afghans and even non-Afghans can benefit from.
