Episode 277
Thursday, 3 April, 2025
Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck is a first generation Iranian-Armenian trauma-informed psychologist who specializes in working with the children of immigrants and intercultural couples. She operates a group practice called Noor Therapy and Wellness specializing in providing culturally-informed care, as well as a coaching, speaking, consulting, and community education business called Bridging Gaps, Breaking Cycles. In this episode, we explore the unique challenges of growing up as a child of immigrants, navigating the balance between honoring cultural traditions and forging your own identity. We dive into the pressures of survival, the weight of expectations, and the importance of destigmatizing mental health in immigrant families. We also discuss the struggle of living in an individualistic society while rooted in a communal culture, the journey of breaking generational cycles, and the guilt and perfectionism that comes with trying to meet both family and societal standards.
