On today’s episode, we have Rebecca Hurdis on the show to talk about her life as an adoptee. Born in Seoul, Korea, Rebecca Hurdis is a transracial transnational adoptee. She spent her childhood on the east coast, before moving to California when she was 20 years old. Growing up in the 1980’s and 90’s when most of America believed in the model minority myth and assimilation for Asian Americans, Rebecca argues that such beliefs are false and dangerous. She brings up the idea that adoption is associated with trauma: it has been suggested that trauma is at the ‘Center of all Adoption’ as adoption cannot occur without trauma. And she brings up the theory of the Primal Wound, how abandonment and loss can be imprinted on the unconscious minds of those who have been separated from their biological mothers at birth. Join us for this fascinating and thoughtful conversation!
