Navigating Asian American Identity Through Patterns and Healing With Dr. Stacey Litam

What does it mean to heal the generational and cultural patterns that shape our identity as Asian Americans? For many, the journey involves understanding the unspoken "meta messages" passed down in families, navigating cultural expectations, and finding a way to honor their heritage while embracing their authentic selves. These challenges often leave individuals feeling caught between two worlds, searching for clarity and healing.

In this inspiring episode of Big Asian Energy, we welcome Dr. Stacey Diane Arañez Litam (she, her, siya), a licensed professional clinical counselor, Associate Professor, and author of Patterns That Remain: A Guide to Healing for Asian Children of Immigrants.

Dr. Litam shares insights on healing intergenerational trauma, understanding attachment styles, dismantling the model minority myth, and reclaiming authentic self-expression—all while fostering mental well-being and honoring cultural heritage.
