Dr. Hamdan is a well-known licensed therapist and a Ph.D. scholar. She is considered a foremost expert in treating trauma, spiritual bypassing, and personal development. Her passion for helping people drives her each day and has forced her to extend her role, reach out to more people and enter the field of social media influencing as an educational content creator.
As an American Muslim herself, Dr. Hamdan noticed that many Muslims, including herself, are culturally taught to turn to religion when something bad happens to them. However, when this happens they bypass the psychological layer and turn to spiritual practices only to feel better. As a result, spiritual practices are immature and the pain becomes dormant, never resolved. Instead, people will continue to act out their pain in unhealthy ways. For example, if someone experienced childhood bullying, no matter how much they pray or go to the mosque it will not heal their scars or wounds of feeling not good enough or worthy. The only way is to work through the childhood pain that is still being acted out in the present. Traditional therapy tries to get people to “talk about it”; however, Dr. Hamdan found that to not be effective. Having experienced her own insecurities and psychological issues earlier in life, she personally understands the complexity of mental health healing.
Her own research and life has found that true healing requires a “Total Intelligence” treatment approach, which integrates all areas, spiritual, psychological, physical, and emotional. She continually uses different psychological modalities, Islamic wisdom, neuroscience, and leadership concepts to treat and heal clients. She also provides her skills to train other mental health clinicians on different healing modalities, such as neurofeedback, heart math, internal family systems, etc.
