Intersections of Identities: A Hmong Voice from the Field

Abstract

This paper explores the intersections of my multiple identities as Hmong, as American, and as a psychotherapist, through the use of autoethnography. I provide first-person narratives of my own lived experiences navigating identity intersections within the context of mental health. Themes form my personal accounts are discussed and connected to potential future research to include the voices of other Hmong therapists. I conclude by inviting readers to join a calling in of my souls to initiate self-healing.
