In this episode, we discuss the tension between growing up in U.S. culture and having a collectivistic ancestral heritage. How do we cope with our identity as individuals, maintaining our psychological well-being, develop relational intimacy, and express boundaries in cultures that might be more enmeshed, hierarchical, or authoritative? At a certain age, do we listen to our parents or listen to ourselves? Do we sit with our feelings or do we push past them? Our experiences are certainly not generalizable but might resonate.
