I truly believe everyone can learn and grow from therapy. I wanted to share a few lessons I learned throughout my journey and also share my 3 non-negotiables for having a good day. What are yours?
I recognized some traits and aspects of myself in your explanation. Being bicultural can make us questionning ourself on our identity so mush in my opinion. This stress "worthy" matter is also very present in my life. For me the non negociable 1. moving (walk,yoga or quick workout) 2. Cooking session 3. Creating (paint journaling drawing)
This was so vulnerable of you to share. It was really nice seeing pictures of your family from back then as well. We often forget that our parents are human beings, while they were raising us, they were also just figuring things out themselves. I'm sure your parents are proud of you--not just because of your accomplishments, but because of how you grew up to be a genuinely amazing human being.
There are SO many wonderful things to learn in therapy about ourselves, family, and the world. The most precious gift is that when we dig really deep, we can find that we had the answer all along and that is a testament to our authentic, unique self. Sometimes we just need someone to help us find our way. Your subscriber, A Clinical Psychologist
Jenn - you sharing this is such a huge relief. Sometimes it feels like my mom is the only “immigrant mom” that has such an incredibly hard time trying new things, namely driving on the freeway! Such a reassurance to see a common thread among the fabric of the sometimes complicated relationships we share with our parents.
Therapy taught me: • how connected the physical is to the mental/emotional • that my need to be seen and heard is paramount to anything else • to take care of both my feminine and masculine energies • that trauma gets stored in the body, and needs to be released
Ive made videos on therapy and mental health and it’s definitely something that everyone should consider!!! Even if you don’t feel like you have depression or anxiety, just having someone to talk to and help you through your thoughts is so healing. Love this Jenn ♥️
Can relate with your childhood experience so much! Asian parents tend to only focus on the peripheral circumstances instead of understanding the inner connection with kids, so the whole family suppress their emotions...thank you for being so open minded and heal your inner child with therapy🥰you are so powerful and divine Jenn😍
One of the things that therapy helped me come to realize and learn is: That I’m worthy of existing and enjoying my existence :) that it’s okay to live for me and strive for a better and happier life
I love love love how in tune you are with yourself. It’s always been so inspiring and motivating! Thanks for always sharing your thoughts on therapy and a healthy mental space!
Thanks for being so honest and open! Our parents have a much more challenging life than we do. Most of them came to America without knowing English and with very little to no money. They tried their best to raise us and they are only human. It’s good to reflect on their actions and recognize how you can be different when you have a child.
Part II: Yes please. Currently thinking about starting some therapy work. Kinda stuck in my life and upset with myself / the diminishing of my internal drive, so listening to other people's experiences is definitely making it more approachable, less daunting.
I’ve been in therapy for a year and a half. I’ve been going to a psychiatrist and a psichologyst, you’re so right it’s incredible how you get to know yourself and how you get to understand your parents
My biggest takeaways from therapy were learning that I can only control myself and not others, and to identify the thoughts behind my feelings. I think it helped ground me in difficult situations and understand what I had power over (me!), and what was out of my reach. This mindset shift really brought relief and peace in my life, and helped me become more solution-focused instead of trapped in my problems. Whenever I encounter hardships, I am able to think about how to move beyond it rather than spiral into rumination.
Hey girl! Can’t agree more when u said “parents are not parents, they’re humans.” I learned it after becoming a mom. I realized that it’s too hard and literally impossible to be a perfect mom and to meet any needs of my kid. It allows me to start rethinking my relationship with my parents and try to forgive them. I’m so proud of you that you got to know this and always being understanding and caring. I’ve been watching your video since 2016 and learned English form you. You were literally my “one-on-one English tutor” in my life. I’m so grateful that you’ve been always so honest and loyal to your audience and I feel like you are like a friend of mine. Hopefully I will meet u someday in LA. Love u.
I have lived going to therapy for so many reasons ! One of them is that I could view my thoughts and my actions from a more objective point of view. It showed me how I wasn’t wrong all the time and how my feelings and my thoughts are valid. Showed me that I could be a more free self. 🙃 Part 2 ! Yes !!!
Therapy has taught me so much. I’ve learned that I am not my thoughts/ emotions. Being able to de identify with them has helped me so much. It’s definitely a work in progress but it’s such a helpful tool. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I know you posted this a year ago but it’s still so helpful for people to discover. 💗
i love this video Jenn!❣️ from my personal experience with therapy i had to recognize that sometimes i need breaks from it. my emotional world goes very deep and sometimes i get pulled too far one way and all i can focus on are the dark unhealed parts lingering inside me. i recently started going back to therapy due to family trauma being uncovered again but i recognize it as a privilege because my therapist is closeby, accepts my insurance, and is pretty compatible with my needs. i know not everyone is so lucky as it can be very expensive and inconvenient. but it truly makes such a radical difference when you start to peel back the layers of pain and your past. it’s a beautiful and terrifying journey ❤️🩹 lots of self-healing work is still being explored. thank you for sharing your journey!💞
Thanks for making a vid about a deep/heavy topic ! As a Korean(Im a native Korean so my Eng is not perfect btw) i could relate to lots of things esp about your parents My parents are just the same ... I used to blame my depression totally on my parents but now that im thinking back about my life overall, I was able to sort out advantages and disadvantages of being grown under such parents. I learned i should use disadvantages to bounce back and turn into my strong points. Past is just the past i cant rewind I should get over the past and think about the future It took me a long time to realize this tho it sounds very simple. Im currently on a free consultation session that my uni offers and it's helping me a lot indeed. Im like 'Why havent i done this earlier!'. Still from time to time my emotion fluctuates like a rollercoaster and id be so dramatic but every time i become like that, Im going to watch this vid as a good reminder. Im so grateful that I can watch this amazing vid for free I feel like I should pay for you somehow It's so soooooo useful and i think everyone must watch this regardless of whether you have a depression or not. It's not sth school teaches you. Thank you so much for making this vid Jen You're the best youtuber to me and I admire you a lot I live in Korea but Id like to meet you irl one day if i get a chance
As a therapy-student, who also went to therapy herself, this resonated so much! I learned that you really do grow. For me, I knew I was growing when little "eureka moments" would come up every now and then, and they became little nuggets of thought that stuck with me in my healing process. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable!
i was having a rough day today and this was such a good pick me up! it made me have an aha moment also, because like you im also addicted intense feelings and emotions. Anything neutral terrifies me and im looking for things to go wrong! I'd love for there to be a part 2, especially if you can delve into how therapy helped with your relationship!
What I’ve learnt from counselling is just sharing your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non judgemental space can make you feel so much lighter. I no longer carry all these heavy emotions and thoughts around all the time. I’m so glad I started!
Thank you for sharing so much. The vulnerability speaks to your progress and comfortableness with yourself through therapy. Proud of you Jenn, you’re going to be an incredible mom as well because of this x
I have to say ever since I went to therapy, I have actually changed as a person, mindset, physique, personality. It has been the best decision of my life, even if it was my parents choice. I am so much happier! I went for my eating disorder, trama, depression and anxiety
thank you so much for normalizing therapy!!!!! you have always been so vocal about therapy and how beneficial it is, you are the reason that made me want to try 💕💕
Thank you for constantly sharing positivity and encouraging growth and self love on your platform! Mental health is just as important as physical health and it needs to be spoken about and normalised! Thank you for being so open and honest, always ❤️
Please do part 2 do this video. I’m currently in therapy and like you, learning about myself and how things from the past shaped who I am and how I cope with things. It has been hard.. emotionally to revisit and process my past but I feel like this weight is lifting up finally.. I am going to continue with therapy and I’m very glad that I’m doing it. When I take care of myself, I can be a whole person for those who are around me..
i personally love this video so much. the raw honesty and positive attitude towards negativity and childhood struggles really opened my eyes and spoke to me.
This will definitely benefit you after having a baby. You will realize all the flaws growing up in your childhood and then strive to make it better with your kids.
Thanks for sharing what you learned through therapy jenn, I'm currently study to be a therapist or counselor 🥰 One non-negotiable things are yoga, meditation, and reading
Would love a second video on this! Maybe you could elaborate on the reason why you started a little more and how your first sessions were? Any highs/lows etc!
I believe acknowledging your problems is a huge step. But to be able to put them into words and breaking them down for a change is just another level🤯 Thanks for documenting your journey into a video and sharing it with us!
*coaching + Therapy should be a standard for everyone! It is cool to have it. It is awesome to have it! It is the best self-investment somebody can ever make.* You go to therapy? YOU'RE AWESOME! WOW! 😍😍
Yes please to part 2! Therapy has helped me understand that my fear of failure and "perfectionism" has been controlling every aspect of my life and now, I've learned that it's ok to fail.
Thanks so much for this video, I recently started therapy after putting it out for so long. I never thought I could relate to someone in so many aspects- childhood, traits, coping mechanisms. I always thought that I could manage most of my emotions and situations with my perseverance, mostly because I was on my own due to my hard working parents (and our poor communication skills). Latino households could be so hard and emotional draining, also they have so many stigmas. Sometimes they still throw it on my face and call me crazy for seeking therapy, but I’m so happy I did. So motivated to break generational trauma.
I've learned how brave it is to truly allow yourself to feel and be present in the moment. I'm so glad you decided to make this video and help de-stigmatize therapy! Your editing is really beautiful, by the way :)
Yay for part 2. I'm started to go to therapist after few episodes of anxiousness and panic attack. It's really help me to understand my emotion and thoughts better. I've been following you for quite some time and to be honest you give me the strength to go to visit therapist. Thank you Jenn! Keep inspiring me and the others! Love from Malaysia
thanks for being so real and honest jenn, as a teen this helped me realize im not alone especially relating to growing up as a first gen Asian American.
I can’t believe how similar are me and you! Everything about parents , childhood , trauma , school, and as a person . Wow ! I know you from the beginning but I never knew you like this and it’s so unbelievable it is to know we are the same
Hi Jenn! I never leave comments. But this is the first time in my life doing it! I just want you to know that you are helping me SO much currently. Lately I realize that I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for years. I had a traumatic childhood where I had to do all by myself and also my parents split in a terrible way. I have also an autistic child and most of the time it can be so stressful because I always think that I'm not a good mother and he is autistic because of me. Because it's my fault. You are teaching me self love and that having mental problems IS normal and that it's not impossible to heal. Thank you for your videos. I watch them every single day to cheer me up, to get inspiration and most importantly to confirm that everything will be ok in time with a little help. Please do more videos about mental health. I'm one of your biggest fans since your first videos in early 2010's. Sending you love and respect from Venice, Italy!
OMG! We have the same personality and I am going through anxiety now maybe bacuse of my post partum as well. Thanks Jen, this will help me since I can't afford to have a theraphy right now because I need to prioritize the therapy of my 3 yr old son. ❤
I’m type 3. Thanks for encouraging us to get to know ourselves better. The hardest part is to accept who we are, then work on in. I think self acceptance really has to come before self love.. what a journey... Yes, part two please xoxo
Thank you so much for sharing this Jenn ❤️ appreciate your authenticity, your emotional intelligence and your consistent self-reflection, and the genuine desire to be a better self ❤️ and Most importantly, the honey bear sweater !!!
I’m a type 3 as well and just started my therapy journey. What you said resonated with me so much. It’s so crazy. So happy that you are able to get to this point. I’m excited and hope I get to do the same!
Yes a part 2 would be amazing. so much of what you said resonated with me and I’m just learning so much more of myself. Thank you for sharing your experience
I love how ppl are slowing beginning to be more open about their therapy experiences! It challenges the idea that therapy is only tailored for a certain group of individuals. Anyone can benefit from therapy! Definitely hoping to see a part 2😊✨
It's a bit weird to say it, but I am learning about myself through your own experience. I'm proud of myself for finally embracing the dark aspects of my life too. Thanks,❤ Jen you helped me heaps too.
That sweater!! 🧡🧡🧡 I’m glad to see you creating content on your experience with therapy as it’s something that’s always been so stigmatized - thank you!!
Really enjoyed this video. Found your addiction to stress really relatable - would love to see a part 2 + maybe something on how you've learned to manage your stress now that you recognised this? ❤️
This is why all your UA-cam subs,think we your best friend. you share so much and we love it!! P.S. Girl you look just like your daddy!! Yall legit got the same face 🥰🥰
There are so many parallels to our family dynamics and just growing up in general! I'm really glad to have found your channel to have someone with a similar story to look up to. Love from London x
I truly believe everyone can learn and grow from therapy. I wanted to share a few lessons I learned throughout my journey and also share my 3 non-negotiables for having a good day. What are yours?

PLEASE make a part 2 Jenn!
What camera do you use? I'm in love with the quality
Please make a part 2
Thanks for normalizing therapy 🥺
Sincerely,
Korean American therapist
Thank YOU for your work! x
Can we take a moment to appreciate how cosy and cute that sweater looks on Jenn? It just adds to the wholesome and authentic energy of this video. :)
Aww thank you! I wanted to wear something quite comfy and cozy for this video, especially n_n;
“I just see them as humans who tried their best.” 🥺 That resonated right there.
✌✌
This was so vulnerable of you to share. It was really nice seeing pictures of your family from back then as well. We often forget that our parents are human beings, while they were raising us, they were also just figuring things out themselves.

This is a beautiful message. Thank you! x
Resonated with so many things you said. As always, thank you, Jenn. 🤍
Jenn, your openness is amazing. It feels revitalizating and so human to be open about growth and introspection
Aww thank you for this message. x
Jenn - you sharing this is such a huge relief. Sometimes it feels like my mom is the only “immigrant mom” that has such an incredibly hard time trying new things, namely driving on the freeway! Such a reassurance to see a common thread among the fabric of the sometimes complicated relationships we share with our parents.
So much self-reflection & maturity... it's impressive and a great inspiration 💛
Therapy taught me:
• how connected the physical is to the mental/emotional
• that my need to be seen and heard is paramount to anything else
• to take care of both my feminine and masculine energies
• that trauma gets stored in the body, and needs to be released
yes to therapy 👏🏼 this video was so insightful. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Agree
Her channel is so wholesome and like makes me feel safe
I'm also an ENFJ type 3 and this is literally 13 minutes and 11 seconds of getting called the fuck out LMAOOO thank you for this jem, Jenn
PART II PLEASE this was so inspirational thank youu💓
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. x
I never realised how much of an influence our parents have on our personality until you said it.
“The most powerful form of self-love is letting yourself be loved.” - the most valuable thing my therapist has ever taught me!
This is so true
I started going to therapy just last week. Wish me luck in my journey to finding my true self! 😊
Ive made videos on therapy and mental health and it’s definitely something that everyone should consider!!! Even if you don’t feel like you have depression or anxiety, just having someone to talk to and help you through your thoughts is so healing. Love this Jenn ♥️
Agreed! x
You definitely inspired me to start therapy. My life has changed so much in the past 2.5 months. I’m so grateful to be on this journey. Xx Meghan
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear! x

This is my favorite UA-cam video ever! Thank you for normalizing therapy.
Thanks Denisa! x
Part 2 please! I've been watching your videos for 10 years now and you continue to inspire me ❤
Part II: Yes please. Currently thinking about starting some therapy work. Kinda stuck in my life and upset with myself / the diminishing of my internal drive, so listening to other people's experiences is definitely making it more approachable, less daunting.
I’ve been in therapy for a year and a half. I’ve been going to a psychiatrist and a psichologyst, you’re so right it’s incredible how you get to know yourself and how you get to understand your parents

that 8th grade quote is a power move. you were always meant for more sis. glad you chased after what you deserve in this world~
Thank you so much for being such a REAL mentor for all of us Jenn! There’s so much to learn from you!
It ISN'T nuts
Thank you for being honest to share this in front of so many people
Someone's honest sharing itself has good influence.
So proud of all the women who are on the journey of awareness and healing
Thanks for sharing what you learned through therapy jenn, I'm currently study to be a therapist or counselor 🥰
One non-negotiable things are yoga, meditation, and reading
That's amazing to hear. Your non-negotiables are right up my alley too! x
Your videos keep becoming more and more valuable, love your introspections👏
This video is the #1 reason why you're my favorite UA-camr. What a beautiful human being you are, thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing 💗 love your cute sweater!!!
Would love a second video on this! Maybe you could elaborate on the reason why you started a little more and how your first sessions were? Any highs/lows etc!
I believe acknowledging your problems is a huge step. But to be able to put them into words and breaking them down for a change is just another level🤯 Thanks for documenting your journey into a video and sharing it with us!
*coaching + Therapy should be a standard for everyone! It is cool to have it. It is awesome to have it! It is the best self-investment somebody can ever make.* You go to therapy? YOU'RE AWESOME! WOW! 😍😍
Yes please to part 2! Therapy has helped me understand that my fear of failure and "perfectionism" has been controlling every aspect of my life and now, I've learned that it's ok to fail.
i always admire your eloquent way of speaking hehe

Wendy Zhang is a mood, "I don't like 8th grade because everyone else sucks" LMAO
LOLOL. All the angst!
so Sartre-like, "hell is other people"
thanks for being so real and honest jenn, as a teen this helped me realize im not alone especially relating to growing up as a first gen Asian American.

Thank you for normalizing therapy and using your platform to guide us how to be vulnerable! Love to see your grow 💕
OMG! We have the same personality and I am going through anxiety now maybe bacuse of my post partum as well. Thanks Jen, this will help me since I can't afford to have a theraphy right now because I need to prioritize the therapy of my 3 yr old son. ❤

This video was so insightful. Thank you Jen! Your videos give me a sense of calmness and I feel like I am talking to my bigger sister.
Thank you so much for sharing this Jenn ❤️ appreciate your authenticity, your emotional intelligence and your consistent self-reflection, and the genuine desire to be a better self ❤️
and Most importantly, the honey bear sweater !!!
I’m a type 3 as well and just started my therapy journey. What you said resonated with me so much. It’s so crazy. So happy that you are able to get to this point. I’m excited and hope I get to do the same!
Yes a part 2 would be amazing. so much of what you said resonated with me and I’m just learning so much more of myself. Thank you for sharing your experience
Yes part 2 please!! Jenn you’re such a inspiration 🌟
I love how ppl are slowing beginning to be more open about their therapy experiences! It challenges the idea that therapy is only tailored for a certain group of individuals. Anyone can benefit from therapy! Definitely hoping to see a part 2😊✨
I’m so glad to found you on UA-cam by accident. I learned so much from your sharing. Thank you! ❤️
I watch this video time and time again. Love this type of content! Thank you for always being real ♥
