Whether it’s clashing over career choices, dating, emotional expression, or even mental health itself, these tensions often leave deep emotional marks, sometimes even lead to abuse and violence. We’ll explore how intergenerational cultural conflicts affect our mental health, and what healing can look like when both generations are ready to listen.Our guest is Shalini Dayal, a licensed family therapist with thirty years of clinical experience in the mental health profession.
