Non-finite grief/Ambiguous grief: Intangible, living losses
Losses from things like: terminal illness, estrangement from our parents, infidelity, a break up from a romantic partner, a break-up from a friendship, losing a career path you were planning to take, a loss of the family/children you thought you’d have, etc…all of these losses can be incredibly difficult to navigate and recover from—and often, less readily recognized or validated.
What is “intergenerational trauma”?
In short, intergenerational trauma refers to trauma effects being passed on from one generation to another generation…and then passed onto another generation and so on and so forth.
Hi, I’m Gina. It’s an honor to meet you.
Gina Li, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)/ Therapist, California
I am a licensed mental health therapist based in the Bay Area, who specializes in helping young adults, Asian Americans, and caregivers throughout California, break the cycles of intergenerational and relational trauma so that they can live truly more fulfilling lives. This can look like being more gentle with ourselves and others, while also setting boundaries as needed. It can also look like gaining greater self-awareness and true confidence. In summary, this looks like learning how to stay grounded in who we genuinely are and who we genuinely want to be.
