Unlearning People-Pleasing in Asian Families
Have you always say YES when you meant NO just to keep the peace, shrinking yourself, or putting everyone else's needs before your own? In many Asian families, people-pleasing isn't a habit; it's survival and societal expectations. This group offers a warm, honest space for Asian American adults ready to explore where those patterns come from and gently begin to let them go. Together, we untangle obligation from love, silence from respect, and self-sacrifice from strength. Led by a culturally responsive licensed clinician who understands the nuance. Serving greater Boston and Massachusetts via telehealth.
