On the show this week we have Sharon Kwon, a social worker, therapist, and healer based in California. Sharon works in private practice with the Asian immigrant community, and also works with the issue of narcissistic family systems. She serves people who grew up in families that immigrated to the US from Asian countries, and how to navigate the generational transition from a collectivist culture to an individualist culture. She explains how she uses a family systems approach in this work, and what that looks like in her practice.

Sharon discusses her own personal story of narcissistic abuse recovery, and how a life altering experience led her to social work. She gives great insights into what kinds of traumas can occur when you grow up in a narcissistic family, and how this led her to find her own definition of spirituality.

We also touch upon what kinds of groups can be really helpful in recovery, such as Codependent’s Anonymous, and the benefits of the 12 step system.
