In this week’s episode of Obnoxiously Pleasant, we’re catching up on what’s been going on, from political conversations around the US midterm elections to why certain topics keep getting suppressed on Instagram and TikTok. We also talk self-care, movies that are way too long, and weekend plans.

Then Hanan tests Lina’s knowledge of 90s and 2000s music in a round of “Lyrically Correct.” Lina has never hated a game more.

Why do so many Arab families treat therapy like airing the family’s dirty laundry? And why does setting a boundary suddenly mean you’ve changed or become disrespectful?

We sat down with our friend Dr. Sarah Wahab, a licensed clinical psychologist, to talk about growing up Arab, what our parents taught us, and what we’re still trying to unlearn.

Together, we dig into the “what will people say?” mentality, parents who don’t understand boundaries, generational trauma, and guilt, and why going to therapy can make your family see you as the problem.

We also talk about how watching a genocide unfold in Gaza has affected our mental health. How do you process witnessing so much pain while still trying to function day to day?
