In this conversation, we hear from Sultana Karim, the owner and psychotherapist at Karim Counseling Services, PLLC, who specializes in treating trauma in adults, particularly those who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic and sexual violence, loss, perinatal and reproductive mental health challenges. Sultana explains the importance of addressing trauma and navigating transitions such as pregnancy and parenting. She also highlights the need for self-care to manage the stress that comes with her work, including activities like massages and visits to rage rooms.

Sultana emphasizes that mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, underscoring the interconnectedness of these aspects with stress and emotions like anger. She clarifies that anger is a normal emotion that should not be labeled as inherently negative, but rather a form of communication that needs to be understood and processed.
Physical activities like engaging in rage rooms are discussed as a way to positively impact mental health by providing a constructive outlet for releasing pent-up emotions. Sultana explains how movement can help release trauma stored in the body and advocates for different forms of physical activities like yoga, walking, and massage therapy to support mental well-being. She also emphasizes the importance of validating emotions and regulating the nervous system to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.
The conversation delves into Sultana's experiences in the rage room, where she found release and stress relief through breaking objects while listening to motivating music. Sultana shares her playlist choices and discusses the physical and emotional benefits of utilizing the rage room. Finally, Sultana provides insight into how individuals can reach out to her for counseling services and emphasizes the value of seeking support for overall wellness and stress management in various aspects of life.
