The War in Me: Finding Resolution to Injustices served by Society, Relationships as well as Ourselves: The Accounts of a British-Afghan Mother and Daughter

“The War in Me” is about the lives of a mother and daughter who fled their home country of Afghanistan following its invasion by the Taliban, seeking refuge in the UK. It provides accounts of the various “battles” faced by the pair and in doing so, acknowledges how we all have things we battle against. Whilst there may be times we encounter defeat, taking account of our accomplishments and triumphs is what will enable us to navigate different battles.

Partly inspired by a dream, the book highlights that despite adversities, it is through the creation, recognition and holding of and onto our dreams which can promote a more fulfilling, enriching and engaging reality.

The book draws from life lessons, academia and professional engagements within the field of mental health including from the author’s standing as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. It describes tools, resources and strategies which can support mental health and wellbeing and which can serve us when confronted with different personal battles.
