Deep dives
Therapy as Personal Growth
Therapy is not just for mental illness, but also for personal growth. It involves someone from outside looking objectively at oneself, helping them recognize aspects about themselves that they may not see. The speaker highlights the misconception that therapy is only for mental illness and emphasizes the benefits of therapy for personal development.
The Quran as Guidance
The Quran is not a comprehensive textbook on specific subjects, such as psychological disorders or mental illnesses. However, it can guide individuals in their studies and provide insights to direct their research. The Quran is seen as a source of wisdom and guidance that steers individuals towards knowledge, but they still need to study dedicated subjects like depression from experts in the field.
