The Role of Islamic Counseling Based on the Concept of Tawakal in Addressing Baby Blues Symptoms

Abstract

This study aims to understand the role of Islamic counseling using the concept of tawakal in addressing baby blues symptoms. The research employs a qualitative method, with interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. The results show that client "D" experienced baby blues symptoms such as crying, sleep disturbances, and a decrease in appetite. Counseling was conducted in three sessions, teaching the concept of tawakal through verses from the Qur'an, tauhid (monotheism), and dhikr (remembrance of God). After the counseling, the client showed improvements, including a reduced frequency of crying, better emotional control, and improved sleep and appetite. In conclusion, Islamic counseling using the concept of tawakal was effective in reducing baby blues symptoms and preventing the emergence of new symptoms.
