Happy Valentine's Day! What better way to celebrate love than going to therapy to heal generational trauma? In this episode with Dr. Stephanie J. Wong, we discuss: - Why therapy is important, especially in Asian American Pacific Islander communities where it's often considered taboo. - How there's been an increased need for mental health support because of 45's presidency that has emboldened White Supremacists. - How generational trauma and internalized racism has impacted Asian American Pacific Islander communities, many of these were a direct result of the United State's involvement in war and colonialism. - With the rise in Anti-Asian hate, what factors to consider for risk, cost, benefit analysis when making decisions, such as going to community events. - How to make therapy more inclusive, especially when the industry is predominantly White, by using lived experiences and cultural humility, not just cultural competency. - The importance of being shameless about shooting your shot and letting go of the humble Asian mentality. - What Dr. Stephanie did to connect with folks like Margaret Cho and the cast from the Partner Track and Bling Empire for her podcast, Color of Success.
