How to Feel More Understood
Ep. 13: First Steps to Feeling More Understood for Adults with Immigrant Parents
Get on Allison's Waitlist: https://heyallisonly.myflodesk.com/list
In this episode of Empowered with Immigrant Parents, I answer a listener question that so many of us think about.
How do I feel more understood by the people closest to me?
If you grew up in an immigrant household where speaking up felt uncomfortable or where your needs were not the focus, it makes sense that expressing yourself today feels hard. When we never got to practice choosing, sharing, or even noticing what we want, it becomes really difficult for others to understand us.
I talk about the difference between being heard and being understood, why decision making can feel stressful for adults with immigrant parents, and what it looks like to slowly build the skill of naming your needs. I also offer a few simple everyday examples to help you notice where this shows up in your daily life and how you can begin shifting it.
This conversation is for anyone who wants to feel more connected, more seen, and more confident in their relationships.
If you have ever wondered why it feels so hard to explain what you need, this episode will help you understand where that comes from and what you can start practicing today.
