How I’m Breaking Intergenera-tional Trauma as an Asian American
Intergenerational trauma has many definitions, but the concept is pretty linear. Essentially, it’s trauma that carries on from previous generations who have experienced tragic events, such as war or famine. Although experts first recognized it in 1966 among children of Holocaust survivors, research has broadened to include other groups, such as American Indian tribes and the families of Vietnam War veterans.
“With a history of physical displacement and identity crisis from war and discrimination, many Asian Americans find themselves passing their unresolved trauma in ways that may not be obvious at first,” says Soo Jin Lee, LMFT, an executive director of the Yellow Chair Collective and co-author of “Where I Belong: Healing Trauma and Embracing Asian American Identity.“
However, getting mental health support may be especially difficult for Asian communities.
Stigma is a common obstacle that Asian communities may deal with. Jeanie Y. Chang, LMFT, CCTP, a board chair of the Asian Mental Health Collective (AMHC), notes that this may be because many cultures are rooted in Confucianism. Many Asian Americans learn from older generations to live a peaceful life and that mental health difficulties directly result from bad habits. In other words, people have taught Asian Americans to follow the rules and not cause disruptions in society.
