How to navigate family disagreements about traditional vs. modern mental health approaches

My brother and I are both dealing with anxiety and started learning about our grandmother's healing traditions from our aunt, but he thinks we should blend it with Western therapy while I want to focus purely on ancestral practices first. We're supposed to be supporting each other through this journey but we keep arguing about the right approach and it's making both of us more stressed.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Siblings seeking healing through ancestral wisdom are fracturing over questions of cultural purity versus integration.
