In this episode of Rooted in Healing, Dr. Hanan Hashem explores one of the most essential truths in trauma recovery: because trauma is relational, healing must also be relational. Drawing from both psychology and Islamic wisdom, she explains why isolation keeps us stuck and how safe, consistent relationships help rewire the nervous system toward safety and connection. Through reflections on co-regulation, trust, and Islamic teachings on community, Dr. Hanan guides listeners to recognize that healing does not happen in a vacuum; instead, it unfolds through being seen, supported, and loved in new ways. She offers practical guidance for identifying healthy relationships marked by consistency, attunement, and accountability, and reminds us that faith, mentorship, and community are integral to our healing. This episode is an invitation to soften toward connection, to trust the people Allah has placed in our path, and to remember that healing happens together.
