Minority Mental Health and Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. Esther Park

There are so many ways of living in this world and having multiple identities can often lead to a lot of confusion.

In this episode, Psychotherapist Dr. Esther Park talks about some of the common struggles that people of color, particularly Asian Americans, may experience throughout their lifetime. We talk about the difficulties of being an immigrant, being a child of immigrant parents, being biracial, and comprehending multiple cultural contexts. She also walks us through how historical trauma can get passed down and how incredibly difficult and brave it is to try and break the cycles of trauma and abuse for our own future generations.
