Many immigrant parents face the challenge of maintaining the traditions and expectations rooted in their upbringing while simultaneously adapting to the culture their teenagers are learning to navigate. This cultural dissonance frequently results in communication gaps, misunderstandings, and the potential for intergenerational trauma.

Recognizing the need to address these challenges, Dr. Cam invited Amy Yip, a Somatic Life Transformation and Mental Fitness coach, to guide us in recognizing and healing from our intergenerational wounds. Amy helps us strike a delicate balance between respecting our heritage while embracing the ever-changing and, at times, overwhelming culture of today in order to create a more harmonious family dynamic.

The ‘Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam’ Podcast: Your Guide to Navigating Adolescence Without Losing Your Mind. Hosted by Cameron (Dr. Cam) Caswell, an acclaimed adolescent psychologist with over two decades of experience empowering parents and nurturing teen development. In each episode, she partners with a guest expert to deliver invaluable insights and practical advice for raising healthy, resilient teenagers.
