Abstract
Di tengah menguatnya wacana kesehatan mental di kalangan muslimah, praktik penyembuhan melalui tagar di Instagram belum banyak dikaji secara kritis dari segi cara bahasa digunakan untuk membangun ruang penyembuhan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan representasi wacana penyembuhan kesehatan mental bagi muslimah di media sosial Instagram. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kerangka kerja Analisis Wacana Kritis model Sara Mills yang menitikberatkan pada pemosisian subjek, objek, dan pembaca dalam teks. Data yang dianalisis sebanyak 102 data dan dikumpulkan dengan teknik simak, catat, dan dokumentasi dengan memanfaatkan Instagram Scraper, kemudian diolah melalui wordcloud menggunakan Voyage untuk mengidentifikasi pola leksikal dominan dalam wacana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wacana penyembuhan yang terbentuk menonjolkan nilai penerimaan diri, penguatan spiritual, dan solidaritas sesama perempuan. Bahasa berperan sebagai media psikologis untuk mengenali, menenangkan, dan mengelola kondisi emosional secara reflektif. Simpulannya, Instagram bukan hanya ruang ekspresi personal, tetapi juga ruang simbolik tempat muslimah membangun identitas religius dan jaringan dukungan emosional dalam menghadapi tantangan kesehatan mental.
