Mentorship

Honestly, Daanish has been a massive help to me. He’s helped me through problems that I haven’t even told anyone else about, and I’ve always felt comfortable being completely open with him. He’s always given me advice that actually makes sense and is relevant to what I’m trying to achieve. His advice genuinely works when you implement it, and I’ve seen a real difference from putting his advice into practice. I’m genuinely glad I decided to work with him.

I had the blessing of being under Dr. Daanish’s supervision for the toughest year in medical school, second year. After getting a failing grade and almost quitting medical school Dr. Daanish paved the way for me and taught me everything I need to know in medical school. From assessments, to OSCEs, and work-life-balance. I went from failing grades to ranking top 5% in my class and achieving the highest overall OSCE grade. I couldn’t be more grateful. I seriously recommend joining Dr. Daanish’s mentorship program to learn more about medicine, learning and gaining lifetime lessons that you will carry with yourself wherever you are.

I found Daanish when I was at the depths of depression, with so many things happening in my life all at once. The kind of days when I would wake up in the morning, look at myself in the mirror, and cry.

One of his reels about sadness and the need to cry actually encouraged me to reach out to him, and I am so glad I did.

His approach isn’t the typical, direct Islamic-lecturing kind of approach. He also introduces things like SAD lamps, chair cushions, and BRICK for phone apps. Somehow, that made it easier for me to accept.

Although he definitely looks very Islamic, his approach is universal and human. It speaks to people who aren’t necessarily very Islamic in their way of thinking, like me.

His approach is kind. Gentle. Understanding.

His intentions are for my own good.

Heck, I didn’t expect to be able to unload so much unresolved trauma so easily with Daanish. Perhaps a little too easily. 🤣

And after almost a year, I started feeling much better. Our sessions gradually became less frequent.

And Daanish knew when to stop.

I’m not sure if his way of spacing out or skipping sessions was also his way of helping me manage my dependence 🤣 But for someone with extreme emotional dependence, it felt like shock therapy.

And somehow, it worked.
