For Indian and South Asian Americans who’ve been told that you’re “bad” for not following cultural norms, for questioning these rules, for honoring your needs and desires, for forging your own path, and for challenging the rulebook: doing these things do not make you a “Bad South Asian”; they make you a more genuine and authentic one. You’re HEALING intergenerational curses. You might get messages from South Asians who tell you otherwise, but many of these “norms” are actually trauma responses. That more “cultured” South Asian person you know does not inherently know more than you. You know enough and you ARE enough. View 4 Photos Your feelings are data points trying to tell you something about your history. I believe that knowing your history can help you heal and decrease anxiety and depression. This can be a messy process of guilt and shame, so I’m here to be a guide. I’ll help you sort out the noise, gain clarity, and challenge limiting beliefs that result from cultural trauma. Whether you’re a Perfect Indian Girl unlearning Good Girl Conditioning or a South Asian Misfit wanting to belong, I’ll pull from different approaches to help you. But in here, YOU are the expert of your life. There’s no judgment here—I’m here to help you make the best decision for yourself. Ready to take control? Contact me for your free intro call today.
