Growing up as a child of immigrants, I have seen the challenges and pressures in my community as one attempts to assimilate into their current society while holding on to a culture that is so much of who they are. Striking a balance between meeting cultural expectations and forging your own path can be an obstacle towards achieving personal happiness. Even asking for help can be considered a sign of weakness- “I don’t really need therapy.” Perhaps you don’t “need” it, but you may have decided you want to make things better for yourself. So here we are, let’s start this journey together.
