This podcast is where therapy meets faith and tradition. Too often, we search for therapists who share our beliefs, hoping for a space that truly understands us. As a Muslim and practicing therapist, I felt the need to explore this intersection—to have real conversations about where faith and psychology align, how we can grow, and how healing can be both spiritual and psychological. Most importantly, mental health doesn’t discriminate—believer or not, we all face struggles. Join me in reflecting, questioning, and making space for a something that is dear to our heart, mind, and soul.

S2 EP 1 : The Art of Presence - Psychiatry and Islamic Psychology in Practice with Armaan Rowther

In this episode, Armaan, a psychiatry resident, opens up about his journey through medical training and how he’s weaving Islamic psychology into the fabric of modern psychiatry. He reflects on what it means to care for both the mind and the soul, reminding us that true healing goes beyond prescriptions and diagnoses. Together, we explore the challenges of being a healthcare professional, the quiet power of faith in recovery, and the profound act of simply witnessing a patient’s suffering without rushing to “fix” it. Armaan also shares his thoughts on moral injury in medicine and the hopeful, transformative role Islamic psychology can play in reimagining clinical care.
