Have you ever heard of cognitive defusion?

"This process can help us separate from our thoughts rather than being defined by them. For example, instead of believing 'I am a failure because I didn't get an A,' defusion helps us recognize 'I'm having the thought that I am a failure.' This distinction is crucial for korean Americans who often identify with achievement.

MAY I ASK...?
Through the month of May, we'll be asking some questions for Korean-Americans about life...

"I have never felt less Korean than in Korea..." is a sentiment felt by so many Koreans that grew up abroad.

Have you ever felt this way? Have you ever been disappointed with how you imagined your visit would go versus how you were actually treated?

Every visit may invite new experiences - feeling welcomed, to feeling judged, or feeling outright ostracized for having grown up overseas... never feeling like we fully fit in Korea or America...

Please reply in comments as you feel comfortable or repost in your story with your response to share just with your circles ๐Ÿ’™

May is a meaningful month for many of us.

Itโ€™s AAPI Heritage Month, a time to honor the stories, sacrifices, and contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.

Itโ€™s Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to speak openly, reduce stigma, and remind one another that healing is possible.

And in our Korean communities, itโ€™s Family Month, a time to cherish the families we were born into, the ones weโ€™ve chosen, and the ones we continue to build.

In light of this, follow along with the programs in our May series:

In this deeply personal session, Young shares his journey as a 1.5-generation Korean American navigating mental health struggles and identity. Young rediscovered a way of living rooted not in achievement, but in presence, honesty, and healing. Now a mental health therapist, he offers his story as a reminder that transformation is possible and that every part of who we are can come together in harmony.

MAY I ASK...?
Through the month of May, we'll be asking some questions for Korean-Americans about life...

Did you ever have to bow to an adult you barely knew? Did you ever have to drop what you were doing to run out and greet your parent when they arrived home? Did you ever have to learn something you didn't care to learn?
..and do find new value in these practices as an adult? Or are you further convinced these actions, done out of tradition, are outdated or unnecessary?
