Episode 12: Introversion, The Limits of Therapy, and Cultural Concerns

  • Summary

  • 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.
