In Episode #16 of Chatting with Slava the Jordanian, host Dr. Slava Abdelrehim invites listeners into a heartfelt and necessary conversation about mental well-being within the Arab immigrant experience. Joined by her cohost JD Yusef and special guest co-host Dr. Ihab Abdelrehim, the trio dives into how emotional health is shaped—and often silenced—by cultural norms, spiritual foundations, and traditional belief systems.
Together, they explore:
- How mental health was (or wasn’t) part of their upbringing.
- The tension between emotional vulnerability and cultural expectations.
- How spirituality and tribal connection often served as the unspoken support system in times of struggle.
This episode opens the door to a conversation many have quietly held inside—what does healing look like when it’s filtered through heritage, honor, and faith? And how can today’s generation of Arab immigrants and their children begin to normalize seeking help, embracing emotions, and redefining strength?
It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s rooted in community.
