When Parenting Awakens Your Past: Reflections on the Healing Heridas Podcast
I was recently invited to speak on the Healing Heridas podcast to explore conscious parenting and breaking generational cycles in Latinx families.
As I reflected on my journey during the episode, I felt deep gratitude for the families I’ve had the privilege to support in my clinical work. My experience in child welfare, pediatric settings, and perinatal mental health has shown me how deeply parenting can awaken emotional patterns, especially for those trying to raise differently than they were raised.
If Parenting Has Stirred Old Feelings, You’re Not Alone
You might find that moments of parenting unexpectedly open emotional wounds.
This doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It means something in you is rising up to be witnessed, understood, and healed.
Therapy offers a space to do just that with gentleness, cultural awareness, and care.
