About this episode
The episode explores the impact of conflict on mental health in Goma, featuring psychologist Feza who opens a therapy practice amidst chaos.
It’s early 2025, and the city of Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo is being taken over by a rebel group called the M23. In response to the chaos, Feza, one of the few trained psychologists in the city, opens a therapy practice in the back of a cinema to treat what she calls an epidemic of post-traumatic stress.
