For years, Muslim women were handed a binary: seek healing through faith, or seek it through therapy — as if the two couldn't coexist.

There's a story told about unmarried Muslim women — that their real lives haven't started yet, that they're in a kind of holding pattern until a spouse arrives to make things official.
