A conversation with licensed therapist and author Linda J. Yoon: breaking the silence on Asian-American mental health, healing generational and community wounds
Fantastic interview with Linda J. Yoon — really interesting community work that she is doing around mental health, and so glad her book ("Where I Belong") is out in the world.
Thank you for this interview...this was really excellent. I am so glad to hear about this book. I have seen the needs among Asian friends and also some of the resistance to seeking help. Very glad to hear about her work. Thank you.
I hope you get a chance to read it, Susan, and share it with your friends. It's a really helpful book, full of practical, compassionate advice and personal stories.
Great interview and insight! It's so funny that we all feel alone as immigrants but we all share similar stories. Especially as we get older and find a "nicer" corner of the internet. Thank you for sharing her with us and excited to check out the book!
Really glad to have you here, Ellina. I think you’ve hit on such an important truth. Immigrant or not, we as humans share many similarities at our core. It’s nice when we’re able to find those parts and connect.
Tiffany, amazing interview. Thank you for introducing us to Linda and her work. Intergenerational trauma is troubling for all. But I am learning how it can have a more profound impact on Asian communities. Thank you for bringing this important conversation to your readers.
Relate on so many levels and appreciate the house collage exercise and so wish I had bandwidth for the book club.
I wish I did too! That house exercise is something, isn’t it?
Terrific interview! The work Linda is doing with community therapy is so important and I can vouch that her book is great and a very needed resource!
Thanks, Ellie. I’m so glad you enjoyed the interview and that you’ve read the book already!

Thank you, Mary. I think trauma is just complicated all around. Awareness is always a good starting point.
