How to Overcome Feeling Unworthy as a Spouse

How to Overcome Feeling Unworthy as a Spouse

When a customs stamp becomes a metaphor for self-identity,
When a dependent visa pauses the full sentence of life,
We need a narrative shift now more than ever.

You are not alone in this struggle.
In a cross-cultural environment, the label "dependent visa holder" can feel like an invisible cocoon—
But don’t forget, the wings to break free have always been yours.

We Independent | Psychology & Personal Growth Talk

First Session: Overcoming the "Unworthiness" of a Dependent Identity – Recognizing Your True Value

📅 Date & Time:
🗓️ Thursday, Feb 6 | ⏰ 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM EST

🎙️ Speaker: Xinyue Lei

  • Ph.D. in Counselor Education, Texas Tech University

  • M.S. in Counseling Psychology, University of Kentucky

  • B.A. in Psychology, University of Louisville

🪐 "Before I am 'someone’s spouse,' I am first and foremost a unique observer of the universe."
