Go to Dr Najmun’s English IG to watch a powerful series on a form of abuse that is often hidden, misunderstood, and deeply damaging to our mental health, corrosive control.

These videos shed light on the subtle patterns that silently break confidence, boundaries, and emotional wellbeing.

Awareness is the first step toward healing — learn, recognize, and protect your peace.

I have specially made this guided meditation keeping all my brothers/ sisters from Kashmir in mind. It’s a healing mental exercise. None of us is perfect. We all have been through ups and downs in our life. Some more and some less.
When we face trauma in our life and trauma is not just some life threatening event. Below are some events that qualify as Trauma and can cause substantial effects on both our mind and our body.
- growing up in invalidating environments.
- growing up in homes where our parents fought with each other.
- growing up in homes where domestic abuse was rampant.
- getting married into families where we were treated as mere objects, verbally, physically , psychologically and even unfortunately subjected to sexual abuse.
- growing up in communities where we were judged, critiqued, made fun of, forced to be and act a certain way.
- having forced to stay in marriages for sake of worldly applause when both man and woman never felt a deep emotional bond but saw each other as enemies.
Marriages felt like cages instead of a beautiful relationships that it should be.
- if we grew up in nations where our identity was stolen, our existence was snatched and we were forced to stay quite.
- if we grew up in conflict ridden areas, areas where poverty, war, unemployment, was a norm. ( yes, that too is trauma).
- if we lost our homes. Loved ones to natural disaster’s like floods, earthquakes ( That is trauma)
- if we lost a parent or a loved one at a young age
- if we lost a child either through miscarriage, sickness or in war related incidents ( hugely traumatic)
- if we were displaced due to war or safety issues( like our Pandit brothers and sisters)
- Then there is trauma that is beyond a norm of human experience like R**e, murder, physical abuse, car accidents, death in unusual circumstances.
- being bullied, body shamed, mocked, scapegoated etc. is also trauma.
So looking at above , is there any one person who may not have expenriced trauma?
It pretty much sums all of us.
Then there is generational trauma. Which is trauma we get from our parents traumatic experiences.
Acceptance is first step to healing and healing is a journey….

In seventies and eighties or even in nineties we never heard of seasonal depressionin kashmir. May be there were a small percent of people who could have struggled with it?
Also possibility that during that time depression may have more manifested by acceptable symptoms like body pain anger, or also quite possible that having routines, rituals, social connection, eating healthy foods, non aviailability of junk foods, staying physicaly active and zest to survive by preparing for winter could have protected us from this bio psycho social ailment.

What are your thoughts? What do you think? Let us know in comment section.

Saying “yes” to everyone isn’t always kindness — sometimes it’s fear.
True respect comes with boundaries, empathy, and self-awareness.

It’s okay to:
1. Say no without guilt
2. Let others have their space
3. Share your opinion only when asked

Respect is not control, it’s understanding.

The link of the Google document with the contact/ phone numbers of various registered drug de- addiction/ rehab centers in and around Kashmir can be found in the story for next 24 hours and after that in the highlight section titled “ Drug awareness” .
Remember Do not Judge- Do not scare or criticize anyone struggling from drug abuse disorder. They need help. Support and treatment. Just do not give them money. That harms them. Love sometimes means to set up tough boundaries. It is hard for families to accept them and it’s ok to sometimes get frustrated with them. Seek help for yourself if your loved one is struggling with drug abuse. A councilor will teach you how to support and help them. And also how not to enable their drug use # Kashmir
