WSTD 2025 Main Track | Resilience and Schema Therapy in a Changing World | Nehal Abdelazim-Horstmann

Описание: In this powerful and thought-provoking talk, Dr. Nehal Abdelazim-Horstmann (Egypt/Switzerland), Consultant Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist, and Advanced Certified Schema Therapist, explores how Schema Therapy fosters resilience in a world marked by chronic uncertainty, emotional overload, and cultural tension.

Through the case study of Mona and Ahmed, a modern Egyptian couple shaped by inherited emotional codes of endurance and restraint, Dr. Abdelazim-Horstmann shows how early unmet needs, collective history, and cultural narratives influence schemas such as self-sacrifice, emotional inhibition, and unrelenting standards. Drawing from historical, psychological, and spiritual sources, she traces how emotional restraint—once a survival skill—became a moral rule, and how therapy can transform that legacy into balanced emotional strength.

She illustrates how techniques like imagery rescripting, limited reparenting, and mode reframing empower clients to replace silent endurance with compassionate self-leadership and emotional literacy. Using culturally resonant metaphors and examples from Arab and Islamic heritage, Dr. Abdelazim-Horstmann presents a model of resilience rooted in flexibility, connection, and dignity—honoring both heritage and healing.
