The perssure of Being a Son(or a daghter) in an Asian Family｜Therapy is a culture EP01 Part 2/5

What does it mean to be a “good child” in an Asian family? Growing up with cultural expectations can mean learning about duty, respect, responsibility, and the importance of family. But what happens when those expectations conflict with who you really want to be? In this episode of Therapy Is a Culture, Fumie and a fellow therapist with Chinese, Vietnamese, and American cultural roots explore the influence of Confucian philosophy, traditional expectations of masculinity, and the pressure to fulfill family responsibilities. (Phu Luu LMFT : https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/th...) We discuss how cultural values can shape identity, why challenging stereotypes can feel complicated, and what it means to find your own voice while honoring where you come from. Can we respect tradition without being defined by it? Join us as we explore the intersection of culture, family expectations, masculinity, and mental health.
