You’re Not Depressed — You’re Disconnected. Dr. Saliha Afridi Breaks It Down

A powerful conversation on mental health, healing, and midlife transformation with Dr. Saliha Afridi, clinical psychologist and founder of The Lighthouse Arabia. This episode explores emotional well-being, parenting, identity, and inner work across the UAE and the Middle East. From breaking mental health taboos in the Middle East to advocating for self-reflection over symptom elimination, Dr. Afridi’s path blends rebellion, rigor, and radical compassion. She opens up about her own journey — resisting the path of clinical psychology at first, finding purpose in Jungian analysis, and what it means to live in conversation with your shadow. Together, Luca and Dr. Afridi dive into the psychological and spiritual consequences of social media, urgency culture, and disconnection from the authentic self. They discuss why tech giants don’t let their own kids use the platforms they build, and how the rise of algorithm-led living is hollowing out identity. But this episode is also a guide — to doing the inner work, to raising emotionally resilient children, and to reclaiming control over your attention. From the value of mindfulness and reflection to the subtle power of parenting with detachment and love, Dr. Afridi offers insights as practical as they are profound. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or simply hungry for depth in an age of distraction, this is a conversation that will speak to your soul — or, as she calls it, the Self. Because the work of becoming whole isn’t about discovering who you are. It’s about remembering. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe to Luca’s Insight Track for more powerful stories from extraordinary individuals.
