Psychodynamic Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis

One of the areas I am working with is trauma, no matter whether it is childhood sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, or illness, disruptions, or disability of a family member, or a more recent incident that impacts your health, family, or work. The worst part of Trauma is that it continues. Often, people want to move on and forget about it. Paradoxically, the way to “forget about it” is to remember it and talk about it, although it is always a painful thing to do. Trauma often makes a person afraid of their weakness, so it would be very difficult for them to accept help or being silenced. Historical trauma might create a harsh society that shapes the culture that hurts the weaker ones. One generation might do unwanted things without realizing it, to their children, who are weaker and have no power. Separating the past and present is important to learn in our work on Trauma.  I understand the intergenerational trauma and how it would impact family members in each generation. I also understand Asian cultural and historical events and their effects.
