Healing: The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do

Current Image

From the "model minority myth" to Confucianism, Asians are under a ton of pressure to perform and are often discouraged from sharing their true feelings - but that doesn’t make them go away. Healthy coping skills build resilience and improve relationships.

Barriers to Healthcare

Current Image

Shame

Disabilities and mental health diagnoses can have real consequences in Asian countries, even getting expelled from school. You aren’t defective.

Current Image

Model minority myth

The stereotype that all Asians are excellent in academics hurts the kids who aren’t. Many Asian children could benefit from behavioral and academic supports, but instead learn to hide their imperfections.

Current Image

Short-term distraction

As a way to distract from negative emotions, spending, gaming, drinking, and workaholism can provide temporary relief but cause major problems long-term.

Current Image

Lack of access and choice

It can be very productive and therapeutic to work with a therapist from the same culture and ethnicity - it might be a lot more comfortable than someone who doesn’t really understand what it’s like in your shoes. There aren’t enough, though.
