DR. CHAWKI AZOURI: Mental Health & Laughing In The Face Of Death | Sarde (after dinner) #90

Psychiatrist & Psychoanalyst (& Médéa’s dad) Chawki Azouri, has a #sardeafterdinner with Médéa & Mouin to talk about:

The advantages and drawbacks of psychiatry
How to heal as a community after the trauma of August 4th and the civil war that came before
The taboos around psychotherapy and medication in the Arab world
How humor can help us get through difficult situations and even overcome death
The solution starts with speaking, listening to each other and feeling heard

Sarde (noun), [Sa-r-de]: A colloquial term used in the Middle East to describe the act of letting go & kicking off a stream of consciousness and a rambling narrative.

The Sarde After Dinner Podcast is a free space based out of the heart of Beirut, Lebanon, where Médéa Azouri & Mouin Jaber discuss a wide range of topics (usually) held behind closed doors in an open and simple way with guests from all walks of life.
