Substacks recommended by Dr Mathew Thomas

Recommended by Dr Mathew Thomas

U.S. board-certified psychiatrist. Neuroscientist. Survivor. Truth-teller. I write about the anatomy of power—how systems groom, silence, and erase those who speak the truth. Writing under a pseudonym to protect my clinical work.

This is outstanding. I just started reading Dr. Vera’s powerful testament, and I highly recommend it. I’m still reflecting on this remarkable work.

Dr. Rezhna Mohammed

By Dr. Rezhna Kurdi

Clinical psychologist, researcher, and writer working at the intersection of trauma, war, displacement, identity, and violent extremism. I write about the psychological afterlives of violence — in minds, relationships, systems, and imagined futures.

I am selective about the voices I follow and engage with, which is why I am happy to recommend Dr. Rezhna Mohammed's work. Her writing carries both substance and heart. She has a remarkable ability to explore psychological and human themes with depth, compassion, and authenticity. What I appreciate most is her willingness to engage with complexity without losing sight of the person behind the struggle.
