Episode One: Anger and Relationships with Parents The South Asian Mind

    • Mental Health

On our first episode on The South Asian Mind podcast, we talked to Prathiba Subramaniam. She’s a global citizen and CALD representing Mental Health Professional here in Melbourne, Australia. In her own words, she’s a Trained Clinical Family Therapist and a counselor who specialises in the treatment of emotional trauma and PTSD symptoms for children, youth and adults.

Today we’ve taken on quite a few topics. Starting with what culturally competent therapy looks like for her just so you understand some of her biases and experiences as a woman, immigrant and CALD representing mental health professional in a sector that is quite dominated with a different culture and get some tips on how to gauge whether your therapist would be a good match for you or not before you commit to them. We then talk about the feeling of anger you feel for your parents when you don’t particularly see eye to eye with them and break down the guilt that comes with that anger. Prathiba then suggests a small action plan you may use to emotionally connect with your parents. Here are the summary notes for the podcast for you to keep and reflect on at your own time.
