As an adult child of immigrants from a collectivistic culture, you may often find yourself carrying a deep sense of responsibility towards your family and community. There's an unspoken understanding that you owe something to those who sacrificed so much for you to have the opportunities you do. You might feel that you’re forever indebted to them and that you have to always say yes in order to pay off that debt. The messaging children of immigrants often receive is that everyone else has to come first. However, in striving to care for others, many of us neglect our own needs— feeling guilty when we take time for ourselves.
You cannot pour out of an empty cup. Prioritizing yourself might come with some difficult conversations and boundary setting and although, “no” is a full sentence, it might not necessarily land well with your family due to cultural reasons. This might mean that setting boundaries in your family might look different than what the Western culture has to offer.
For adult children of immigrants, having a therapist who understands that commitment to others is just as important as commitment to self is an essential part of the process of feeling more aligned with your values and supporting you in creating what feels right for you in context. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation.
