asian / immigrant family dynamics
your personal healing ripples out in all directions
Do you…
feel frustrated or conflicted about the way things are within your family, but also don’t want to expose yourself to potential misunderstanding from others (and euro-centric therapists) when exploring this part of your experience and personal history?
want to make sense of your experiences growing up, and relate to your past — and present — in a creative and empowering way?
want to avoid having problems being attributed to simply ‘being Asian’ (and thus feeling like there’s nothing to be done about the situation) i.e. ‘oh, my Asian parents are just this way’?
want to engage in your current relationships in a different way than you’ve experienced growing up?
If you’re here, you’re most likely navigating multiple cultures, have a multi-faceted identity, and have a deep desire to be seen and accepted for the fullness of who you are
are these your heartfelt desires, too?
want more for yourself — without fear, guilt or shame running the show
co-create a vastly different future — while making peace with the past
shed aspects of cultural and familial expectations you find ill-fitting for your current self — without rejecting your racial identity
feel comfortable navigating shades of grey — while also having firm boundaries
you’re pioneering a new way of being
and therapeutic tools can help:
emotion regulation skills
reparenting inner child
strengthening sense of self & boundaries
nurturing yourself
