EP37: Dr. Eunice Yuen on permission to feel, mentalization, and self-compassion


Listen Later

Emotional intelligence allows for self-compassion, which we can then extend to others. Giving ourselves permission to feel allows others around us to have permission to feel. Join me and Dr. Eunice Yuen in Part 2 of our conversation, where she talks about Yale CHATogether, which has links to the growth mindset and deliberate practice. The concept of CHATogether could apply to any relationship, not just parent-child, but also doctor-patient. Dr. Eunice Yuen, MD PhD is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry from the Yale School of Medicine and Child Study Center. She integrates clinical and research work in a bio-psycho-social cultural framework. She is interested in mental health, from genetic and neurobiological underpinnings to practical interventions and education within communities.

Dr. Yuen is the Founder and Director of Yale Compassionate Home, Action Together (CHATogether), which is a program that uses interactive theater as an educational tool to increase wellness in Asian American families across generations.
