Dr. Bron Wilkins & Ms. Beatrice Ng-Kessler
Bron is joined by Beatrice Ng-Kessler (Clinical Psychologist, Schema Therapy Trainer) about working therapeutically with clients from collectivist cultures, and why Western, individualistic models don’t always translate as cleanly as we expect.
They chat about:
👉🏽 How collectivist and individualist values shape therapy👉🏻 Filial piety, family hierarchy, and unmet needs
👉🏿 Cultural safety, humility, and therapist authority
👉🏾 Working with emotional suppression in schema therapy
👉🏼 Practical ways to build safety without pushing too fast
This episode is essential listening for early-career clinicians wanting to work more thoughtfully, safely, and effectively across cultures.
Guest: Beatrice Ng-Kesler – Clinical Psychologist, Schema Therapy Trainer, founder of the Chinese Schema Therapy Academy
