Episode 12: Introversion, The Limits of Therapy, and Cultural Concerns
It's difficult enough to get to therapy. It's even more
heartbreaking when you realize that no matter how hard you tried, it didn't
work. And it's NOT your fault.
Unfortunately, this is the reality facing many Asians and
Asian-Americans. On this sobering episode, Amos Vang and Godwin Chan discuss
the difficult reality of the cultural limits of therapy and the clashing of the
WEIRD mindset (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic) with
non-WEIRD mindsets. Amos and Godwin also explain in more detail the introvert
experience, as well as how extroverts can relate to introverts in a culturally
extroverted Western world.
DISCLAIMER: this episode does NOT aim to give any medical
advice at all. Nor is it claiming that ALL therapy fails (therapy can work for
some people). This episode simply shines light on an important yet socially
taboo topic: that therapy is not necessarily for everyone, and that therapy
must improve in order to accommodate more people.
