Trauma, Therapy, and the Lie of “I’m Fine” | Dr Farah Qadir | Khayyam Sajid | Nawal Ahmed | Roundtable Podcast | Ep 12
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
Why do we wait for a breakdown to finally ask for help?
In a culture that romanticises pain and shames softness, mental health becomes either aesthetic or alien. Dr Farah Qadir, Khayyam Sajid, and Nawal Ahmed talk about growing up without emotional language, being “functional” despite anxiety, and the irony of seeking validation in healing spaces.
This roundtable is a deep dive into our desi discomfort with vulnerability, validation, and value.
