Farid Holakouee is a clinical psychologist and host of podcast “In Session with Dr. Farid Holakouee” -- you may also know him as the son of the renown Iranian radio show host, Dr. Farhang Holakouee. We start in his early days at Beverley Hill High School where 30% of the school was Persian, not feeling cultural pressures from his family, and how his initial passion of becoming a physician transitioned into his career in clinical psychology. In the latter half, we jump into some of the juicy topics, like the most common themes of therapy sessions with the Persian population, the role and effects of parental control present in Persian and other cultures, and the concept of perfectionism. Enjoy the show!
