Empathy Boost Podcast ( 同理同感 )

Episode 21 - 刻板印象和自我認同 / Stereotyping & self-identity

華裔家庭婚姻心理諮商師Melody 談她從翻閱兒時獲獎的一篇自製故事書中,反思自己如何突破刻板印象的自我認同障礙,並且找到身為亞裔和女性的自信。她也提到如何從花木蘭的卡通和電影中,觀察到了刻板印象對自我認同的影響。

Melody, an American-born Chinese and Marriage & Family therapist, shares how after many years, finding her self-made story book from childhood inspired her to reflect on how she has overcome stereotyping barriers to become confident in her identity as an Asian and as a woman. She also talks about how the animated and live action Mulan films inspired her to look into the impact of stereotyping on self-identity.
