The Healing Trauma Workbook for Asian Americans: Heal from Racism, Build Resilience, and Find Strength in Your Identity

If you are an Asian American who has experienced racial violence, verbal harassment, stereotyping, or microaggressions, you might feel like the world is unsafe. You may suffer from anxiety, depression, or painful memories as a result of this trauma. And if you seek help, you may find that Western-trained mental health professionals simply can’t understand your pain and life experiences. This book provides culturally informed treatment methods to help you heal from and fortify yourself against race-based trauma—including intergenerational and historical trauma—and stress.

Written by an Asian American psychologist, this workbook blends contemporary psychology with ancient mind-body approaches to help you build resilience in the face of racism, overcome trauma and internalized oppression, reclaim your mental health, and celebrate your heritage. Using skills grounded in culturally informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and somatic practices from Asian cultures, you'll learn to create a healthy identity, balance your emotions, cultivate a growth mindset, and increase a feeling of connection with your community. You'll also discover tools to help you manage negative thoughts and feelings, identify your values, build resilience in the face of stress, improve relationships, and foster healing in your community.
