In this episode of Vision Voices – Arabic Series, Lara sits down with psychologist Areej Khataybeh for a conversation about identity, belonging, and mental well-being in Dubai and the UAE.
They explore how Arabic psychology, faith, culture, and modern life intersect — and how living between cultures shapes who we become. From the ancient concept of healing the “diseases of the heart” to navigating expat life in Dubai, this episode offers a grounded, insightful look into what it means to build identity in a constantly moving city.
This episode brings:
- Identity in Dubai: how a multicultural, fast-changing city shapes your sense of self
- Expat life in the UAE: belonging, transition, and redefining home
- Arabic psychology: understanding the “science of the self” rooted in tradition
- Healing the heart: ancient concepts of guilt, shame, envy, anger, and emotional alignment
- Language and identity: how Arabic, dialects, and English influence emotions and healing
- Cross-cultural families: raising children between languages, values, and traditions
Whether you’re an expat in Dubai, Emirati, cross-cultural, or someone navigating identity across borders, this conversation will resonate with the complexity and beauty of belonging
