Stepping back into the world of Lebanon in the 1980s, Mo confronted haunting recollections of warzone, political tumult, safety concerns and abandonment. Mo suffered from emotional neglect and a sense of rejection throughout his childhood, due to his hardworking parents having to leave him to seek employment abroad. Consequently, it brought forward a lot of anger and behavioural issues. He harboured animosity with other kids who had parents. He even stabbed a kid at school who hit his brother.
Mo poured his emotional instability into outlets such as boxing, rigorous training and regrettably, married women. The element of abandonment was exacerbated with each relationship breakup, driving him to turn to substance abuse. Upon meeting his now wife, Mo found solace in that he finally found someone who genuinely loved and cared about him.
Mo’s initial approach to counselling was misguided. He knew that he needed help, but his ego was overpowering ‘I wouldn’t allow anyone to help me, I would help myself.’ So he decided to commit to the field of counselling. He wanted to save himself.
Fast forward to 2012, Mo graduated with a Master Of Addiction Counselor credential and became the Clinical Coordinator for The Department Of Correctional Facility Housing before transitioning to a position in a detox facility. He has since then opened up his own private practice Premier Counseling.
