In this powerful AAPI Month episode, we dive into the often-unspoken complexities of mental health in Asian American communities. Healing In Translation explores the unique challenges faced by individuals navigating cultural stigma, generational trauma, and the pressure of the “model minority” myth—all while trying to access healing in a system that often doesn’t speak their language, literally and figuratively. Featuring personal stories, clinical insights, and some humor to break the ice because that’s how I cope – I’m sure some can relate! This episode is a call to honor both silence and survival, and to reimagine what culturally grounded mental health care can look like.
Whether you’re part of the AAPI community or an ally looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is an invitation to listen, reflect, and heal—together.
