Young Adult Mental Health & Filial Piety with Allison Ly, LCSW

Joining me on this episode is my guest Allison Ly. She is a LCSW based in Los Angeles, CA. She does video therapy for California residents. She is a first generation Asian American born and raised in Los Angeles, California and identifies as Chinese and Vietnamese culturally. She speaks Vietnamese conversationally.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Forming friendships as a young adult
• Respecting your family without losing yourself
• Sacrificing self with family, boundaries, putting your needs those first
• Comparing yourself to others and imposter syndrome
• Experiencing comparison with family, absorbing that, and then comparing self to others which may lead to imposter syndrome
