This is another essential episode of our “EAT Masters Series.” In today’s episode, we are joined by expressive arts therapy expert Dr. Yousef AlAjarma. Drawing from over thirty years of clinical experience—ranging from academic halls to trauma recovery in conflict zones—he joins us to explore a struggle that resonates across cultures:
How do I break free from emotional blackmail when my parents say, “It’s all for your own good”?
When guilt becomes an invisible chain used to control our choices, we often feel trapped in shame. But Yousef reminds us that relationships aren't just about the words we speak—they are lived and stored within our senses and our bodies.
In this episode, Yousef invites you to become “a fish swimming in the deep.” Through this gentle yet profound metaphor, he guides you beyond the maze of verbal conflict to discover: How have external messages shaped your “scales” on the outside？What does your “inner self” truly need from the waters around you?
Join us as we use creativity to build a shield of love—learning how to navigate the complex currents of family and find the freedom to swim your own path.

In today’s episode, I’m truly honored to be joined by Dr. Yousef AlAjarma, a professor in the Counseling Department at William James College, and a registered expressive arts therapist and licensed mental health counselor.
He brings years of experience working at the intersection of expressive arts, trauma, and community mental health, with a particular focus on resilience, family systems, and conflict transformation. Throughout his career, he has worked extensively with trauma survivors in Palestine, collaborating with organizations such as the United Nations, Doctors of the World, and the Palestinian Ministry of Education.
He’s former Executive Co-Chair of the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, and continues to support individuals and communities through both clinical work and teaching.

「Expressive Arts Therapy — Conversations with Masters」
As a graduate of the first cohort of the China–U.S. Expressive Arts Therapy training program, I feel deeply honored to invite six leading figures in the field—senior practitioners, professors, and educators actively engaged in both clinical work and teaching—to join this series and share their insights.
They all graduated from Lesley University and bring decades of experience. They are not only experts, but also pioneers—people who have witnessed and shaped the field from its early beginnings to where it is today.
To make listening easier, this series will be released in two versions: a Chinese voiceover version and the original English audio. You can choose whichever feels right for you.
