Amot Che Podcast - Episode 1 

Presented by Lara Vanian-Green, this panel conversation with fellow Armenian therapists explores the role of “amor,” or shame, within Armenian culture — particularly as it relates to identity, relationships, and mental health. This project, developed through Los Angeles County, aims to address barriers to mental health access within the LGBTQ Armenian community. The discussion offers reflection on the impact of shame, the possibility of change, and resources for those seeking support.

Podcast recording setup with two microphones, a pair of headphones, a notebook with a handwritten episode outline, two beige mugs, a glass vase with green foliage, and a coffee mug on a wooden table.

These conversations are an extension of the work. It offers another way to engage with the ideas explored within therapy.

This practice is ongoing, shaped by continued learning, growth, and a deepening understanding over time.
