148: Mental Health Stigma & Shame in Families - with Dr. Jenny Wang, Clinical Psychologist & National Speaker
Trust & Thrive
Unspoken Emotions and Cultural Shame in Asian Culture
Shame plays a significant role in understanding one's mental health, particularly in cultures where harmony and saving face are highly valued. In such cultures, emotions are often suppressed, leading to a lack of direct communication about feelings of hurt or anger. This suppression can result in individuals bypassing their emotions or missing out on valuable insights. The cultural emphasis on saving face in Asian cultures contributes to a cycle of secrecy and reluctance to admit struggles or faults, for fear of bringing shame not just to oneself, but also to family and community.
