To my Muslim fam feeling paralyzed by the devastation of Gaza, . I feel it too. But what helps me is to remember the Prophet Muhammad (s) told us to plant the sapling even as the Final Hour comes. To do good even as the world is ending. It all matters. Keep going.

We often lament “why did it take me so long [to learn/change]?” . But remember, change requires unlearning before learning. A sacrifice of what is familiar and easy for what is new and hard. And then it requires repetition. It doesn’t matter when you started. Keep going.

Let your grief soften your heart, fam. For the heart is the only thing in the world that when broken is most alive. When it is most capable of self growth, of compassion for others and of changing the world.

For all of us struggling with guilt for having so much when others have so little, try this: . Reframe guilt into gratitude. Both motivate but guilt burns us out. Gratitude does not. Turn guilt into gratitude.THEN use gratitude to put good into the world. Guilt➡️Gratitude➡️Good.

Propaganda I’m not falling for: . Politics have no place in therapy. Yes, politics can and should have a place. Ignoring systemic causes of mental distress severely limits the benefit of therapy.

FAQ: How do I identify a relationship I need a boundary with? . Answer: If you can’t share your successes without fear of their jealousy and you can’t share your failures without fear of their judgment, then you need boundaries.

If therapy can take you from “I don’t want to live” to “I don’t want to live LIKE THIS” then it’s worth it, fam.

Not mine but a quick tool in supporting someone going through a difficulty is to ask them the three H’s. “Do you need HELP (a solution)? To be HEARD (to vent)? Or a HUG (physical comfort)?” . Help. Heard. Or Hug. Works with kids & adults. It’s not a fix, but it’s a start.

To successfully grow and progress you must have 2 qualities. 1. Thick skin.2. Soft heart. 1 to stand firm on your goal no matter what hits you. 2 to keep your humanity and self-compassion in the process. Have only 1, you become jaded. Have only 2, you become hopeless.

To all the artists out there finding it pointless to make art as the world seems to be falling apart, . You’re wrong. The only way to fight destruction is to create. We need you now more than ever.

For all those who share with me in confidence that they want the crisis in G@za to end, I appreciate it. Now please, take the next step and say it to your own families, communities and leaders too. Solidarity is important, but real change is in advocacy.

Every day patients tell me they feel helpless about what to do re: the state of our country/world. And I remind them that they’re doing something about it right now. That working on ourselves strengthens our values & resolve to preserve them. That therapy is an act of resistance.

The world is where it is because we were taught to treat some historical atrocities as “never forget” and others as “get over it.”.

Dear Muslim fam, . It’s nearing the end of Ramadan. Pray. Pray for everything you want, not just what you need. Pray with every beat of your heart and every whisper of your soul. Pray with absolute conviction that it will be answered. Pray for others. Pray for the world. Pray.

The mental health pitfall of living in a capitalistic society is that it teaches people that work is what we do with our hands, not with our brains. So our worth gets defined by what we produce, not what we create. So our goal becomes to increase productivity, not creativity.

Just wanted to thank Joy Reid for always being a tireless advocate for science, reason, and systemic justice during the pandemic and beyond. It was an honor to be on your show and I wish you every good thing ahead. @thereidout
