Cultural Identity, Healing, and Belonging with Soo Jin Lee LMFT and Linda Yoon LCSW Harvesting Happiness
-
- Society & Culture
Children of immigrants must navigate multiple cultures. The culture they know predominantly from their parents and the culture in which they live. Finding a sense of belonging and identity can be especially challenging for Asian Americans, who tend to be the group that is the least likely to talk about their feelings and seek out mental health services.
To explore a path for healing cultural identity hurdles, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two licensed therapists, authors, and co-founders of the Yellow Chair Collective, Soo Jin Lee, and Linda Yoon.
Soo Jin and Linda explain the mission of the Yellow Chair Collective and the premise of Where I Belong: Healing Trauma and Embracing Asian-American Identity, their book based on members’ stories and cultural experiences.
