Language & Stories
Some words on my early experiences as a second-language-learner in the States. Acculturation and language barriers may be part of the struggles of children and families. I hope part of my story can help expand on the importance of cultural competence, seeking to understand the unique and individual struggles of those who are learning language, and the family dynamics that may be affected in the process.
Being Prisoners of Our Past
I stated going back in to the family system can help confirm growth. This is not the case for all people, of course, there are situations where it isn't realistic or safe to do so. Having witness to one's change is the important part, to be surrounded by positivity and encouragement to grow.
