Summary:

Therapist Dr. Tummala-Narra opens the session by introducing herself to the client and describing her psychodynamic clinical orientation and how it looks in session. The client reports that she is seeking therapy to resolve tension, stress, and anxiety she has been experiencing during the pandemic. The client says that hearing news about anti-Asian-American violence and discrimination is negatively impacting her, leading her to feel hypervigilant and alone in the workplace. Also, the client's mother died of a heart attack one year prior, which has caused the client additional stress and grief. Dr. Tummala-Narra facilitates insight for the client surrounding her upbringing as a first-generation Chinese American who immigrated to the United States at an early age, and together they connect her early childhood experiences of stigmatization and isolation as a result of her marginalized identities to the stress the client is currently facing. Lastly, the therapist facilitated exploration of client's resiliency factors and coping strategies as she navigates this difficult time. The client in this video is portrayed by an actor on the basis of a composite of cases
