“Dr. Jenny T. Wang has been an incredible resource for Asian mental health.

Asian Americans (AA) are experiencing a racial reckoning regarding their identity, inspiring them to radically reconsider the cultural frameworks that enabled their assimilation into American culture. As AAs investigate the personal & societal effects of longstanding cultural narratives suggesting they take up as little space as possible, their mental health becomes critically important. Yet despite the fact that over 18 million people of Asian descent live in the United States today — they are the racial group least likely to seek out mental health services. 
Permission to Come Home takes Asian Americans on an empowering journey toward reclaiming their mental health. Weaving her personal narrative as a Taiwanese American together with her insights as a clinician & evidence-based tools, Dr. Jenny T. Wang explores a range of life areas that call for attention, offering readers the permission to question, feel, rage, say no, take up space, choose, play, fail, & grieve. Above all, she offers permission to return closer to home, a place of acceptance, belonging, healing, & freedom. For AAs & Diaspora, this book is a necessary road map for the journey to wholeness.
