Reflections & Realisations
Reflections & Realisations is a faith-based psychology podcast exploring how our past shapes who we become and how we can heal through self-awareness, spirituality, and compassion.
Hosted by Alveena, a Psychology MSc student, writer, and seeker, the podcast blends mental health insights, spirituality, and personal storytelling to explore themes of identity, healing, and growth.
Each episode unpacks the real psychology behind how we think, feel, and love, from attachment styles and trauma to faith, self-worth, and emotional resilience.
Born from years of journaling, therapy, and reflection, Reflections & Realisations invites you to slow down, question, and reconnect with yourself through honest conversations that bridge science and spirituality.
If you’re drawn to psychology, faith, healing, and self-discovery, this podcast is for you. No quick fixes. No perfect answers. Just real reflections that remind you that you are not alone in your journey.
Together, we explore:
- Mental health, emotion, and healing through a faith-based lens
- The psychology of attachment, trauma, and resilience
- How spirituality and self-awareness guide emotional growth
- Honest reflections on belonging, identity, and love
Join the journey toward understanding yourself and healing deeply, one reflection at a time.
Reflections & Realisations
I Needed Them to Say I Was Wronged
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You ever keep replaying an old conversation in your head—just wishing someone would finally say, “You were right. That wasn’t okay”?
This episode is about the ache of being wronged… and the deeper ache of never hearing someone acknowledge it.
It’s about the moment I realised I kept outsourcing my healing—waiting for others to affirm my pain—when what I really needed was to validate it myself.
If you’ve ever been hurt, dismissed, or made to question your reality, this one’s for you.
🎙️ Welcome to Reflections & Realizations — a podcast where we explore emotional healing through faith, psychology, and deeply personal stories.
🛠️ Realignment Tool #4: The Validation Reset
A 3-step reset to help you stop looping, start processing, and find peace without needing closure from others.
✨ Acknowledge the hurt
Stop pretending you’re okay when you’re not.
Journal it. Speak it. Name it.
When pain is unprocessed, your brain keeps it in a mental “pending” folder. That’s why it loops.
Let it out — that’s how healing begins.
✨ Surrender it to something Higher
Now that it’s out, hand it over.
To Allah. To your values. To your greater purpose.
Your Lord saw what happened. He affirms you — even when others don’t.
This is how bitterness turns into peace. And peace? That’s what sets you free.
✨ Rewire through repetition
The wound may reopen — and that’s okay.
Each time it does, revisit this practice.
Tell your brain:
“Yes, I was hurt. It wasn’t okay. But I’m safe now. I’m healing. And I don’t need their permission to move on.”
This is how we rewire our minds — not overnight, but over and over again.
🎧 For anyone struggling with:

– Unprocessed emotional pain
