The therapist encourages the client to listen to their own inner voice.

“Today’s session… Many married couples and people tangled in relationships ask me after the session, ‘The other person says, makes promises, assures, swears, talks… so what should I do now?’ Today again someone asked, ‘He swore on his parents… now tell me, Doctor, what should I do?’ I replied gently, ‘There must be a voice inside your heart telling you what to do, right?’ He answered in a confused tone, ‘My heart wants to go back… or let him come back…’ I reminded him, ‘I asked, what does the voice inside you say? What does your heart say? Those are your feelings.’ He said wearily, ‘Doctor… I don’t understand anything.’ His tone clearly said, ‘You decide about my feelings… let me go… keep drinking your coffee.’ I cannot hold anyone’s hand in life, nor can I stop them. My job is only to show the path, to explain, and to say that the choice is yours, you have to walk it, because I do not and cannot control your life.’ Then he asked, ‘If you were in my place, what would you…’

Emotional Impact session for girl

-

  "A 13-year-old girl, with a blush of modesty on her face, wrapped in a large chadar, said, 'Doctor, take this list.' I looked at her in surprise and asked what kind of list. She explained that every time she visits a doctor, they lecture her about prayers, Quran, and distance from Allah, instead of listening to her. She had compiled a list of her prayers, Quran recitation, and remembrance of Allah over the past six months. As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Emotional Impact The doctor is deeply moved, feeling a sense of shock and empathy. The girl's innocence and sincerity are palpable, and the doctor is struck by the contrast between her genuine faith and the superficial religiosity often displayed by others. Critique of Superficial Religiosity The passage critiques the tendency to prioritize outward displays of religiosity over genuine spiritual connection and empathy. The girl's words suggest that people often focus on rituals and appearances, neglecti...

Couple session

An important point from the couple's session... There's a common perception in our society that if a couple lives separately from their in-laws after marriage, their marriage will be successful. I'd like to clarify that living separately doesn't guarantee a successful marriage. Even when living separately, divorces happen, conflicts arise, and many issues emerge between the couple. When the young man asked, "What kind of issues?" I said: "The attraction between each other starts to fade, both unconsciously start drifting apart, and boredom sets in. An unknown tension builds up. Both feel like the other person is imposed upon them - because when they separate immediately after marriage, they don't get a chance to adjust to each other." If they spend a few years together with the in-laws after marriage, the relationship strengthens. Both learn to care for each other. The emotions that help strengthen the bond at this age emerge more intensely and b...

Husband and wife session

Today's Session Both husband and wife hold PhDs. It's been a year since their marriage, and unfortunately, the past year has been filled with arguments and fights, except for two months. One day, a common friend suggested they visit a psychologist to resolve their issues. The fights were between the couple, but they often insulted each other's families. After six months, the insults escalated to severe levels, with both parties using derogatory language towards each other's families. After four sessions, today's was the fifth. Both individuals showed significant improvement, with noticeable calmness and composure. I was overjoyed, much like a mother seeing her newborn child. Key Takeaways 1. *Designate a problem-solving time*: Set aside 1-2 hours daily to discuss and resolve issues. 2. *Mutual support*: Focus on helping each other and creating ease in the relationship. 3. *Exchange of love*: Continue to show love and affection towards each other. These strategies he...
