Join Kelly in a chat with a therapist Adora Chun Du, who discusses the lack of cultural diversity in the current therapy model, which is predominantly based on Western culture and ideals. She notes that this does not fit with non-Western cultures and societies. Adora promotes the need for different perspectives in therapy and a different way to conceptualize cultural differences for therapists.
