Uncovering Trauma with Dr. Masa Al-Kurdi
We'd love to hear your thoughts!
In this eye-opening episode, we speak with Dr. Masa Al-Kurdi, to explore how trauma isn't always tied to major, life-altering events. Often, the most significant impacts can come from smaller, seemingly less obvious incidents—like bullying, neglect, or subtle emotional abuse—that accumulate over time.
Dr. Masa explains how trauma can be hidden beneath the surface and how it manifests in ways we may not immediately recognize. She breaks down the signs of trauma, particularly the subtle indicators that many people overlook in their day-to-day lives. We also dive into the importance of uncovering these hidden wounds to begin the healing process and how they shape our relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
Dr. Masa is a clinical psychologist and trauma specialist at the Psychiatry and Therapy Centre, and co-founder and Vice-Chairperson of MENATA. She is dedicated to creating accessible mental health resources and fostering resilient communities across the region. And has successfully trained mental health professionals, empowering them with the tools and resilience to offer meaningful support within their communities.
