Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Welcome home.

I'm Dr. Tamah, a minister, licensed psychologist and secret

artist.

And this is Homecoming, a podcast to facilitate your journey

home to yourself. While I will provide weekly inspiration and mental health tips, this podcast

is not a substitute for therapy. I'm so excited you're on the journey. If you want to request

specific topics or share your progress, email me at homecomingpodcast at gmail.com. Also after

you listen, be sure to like, subscribe and share. Let's begin.

And Amina is all the way in Cairo, Egypt. And she is really enjoying listening to the

homecoming podcast. So I'm so glad that you are a part of our journey. Amina and let me share your

poem. It is Amina set key. A room with no air, just a fact and is not fun. Because this room is

me. Body, bones and flesh. Yet I cannot run. I look the same. You wouldn't notice. But all I

feel is numb. I twist, turn and laugh to cope. I can hear you call me dumb. No place to go. All

roads are closed. Like there's an earthquake and all is numb. But the truth is it's just a broken

home with lots of harm being done. That an earthquake is considered a rollercoaster and I'd invite

you all to come rather than spending a day in my room where it's so bright you can't open your

eyes and not because of the sun. Amina, I feel that and I am with you in that room. And as you

said that room is you, your body, your bones, your flesh. I thank you so much for painting for us

that picture of what it feels like when we're in that place of numbness but really dealing with the

realities of harm. And so I'm grateful, grateful for your words, for your heart, for your spirit,

and for your presence here as a co-journer on this homecoming experience. Yes. So Amina,
