👋Welcome back to the Asian Mental Health podcast!

For this episode, we’re joined by Natcha Limpianunchai who's a registered psychologist and ex-international student based in Melbourne, to discuss all things love, affection and care, within Asian families.

This episode answers a question submitted to us from the Shapes and Sounds community that in essence asks, how can we show love to, and feel loved by our Asian parents especially when words of affection may not be their love language?

You’ll also learn:

• How Natcha stayed connected with her family overseas during those dark lockdown years via music and creativity⁠

  
  



• Recognising and appreciating care and affection external to Western ideals⁠

  
  



• Strategies from a psychologist (a little uncomfortable but nonetheless effective) to implement changes to the ways in which you might communicate with your family⁠
