As a first gen eldest daughter you achieve many firsts on your own.
But one that is very new to you and your parents are feeling your feelings.
This either feels very familiar or very scary.
However, feeling your feelings is learning to navigate them in ways that are safe so that you can show up for yourself in the ways that you need.
In this episode we're joined my licensed marriage and family therapist, Victoria Cortez.
In this episode we’ll cover:
-The tension of honoring our family culture and tradition but also accepting there’s parts of it we don’t want to pass down to our future children.
-What to do if your family isn’t presently supportive of you going on a healing journey via therapy.
-What to do knowing you can’t control or change your family.
-One simple tool you can use right now to start feeling your feelings if you don’t know where to start.
-What to look for and what to ask when searching for a therapist who’s a right fit for you.
As Victoria encourages, be a cycle breaker.
