Season 3 will be dedicated to Children's Mental Health topics. Please note that I recorded many of these interviews in 2018 but just was not been able to edit and release them due to many schedule changes I had in my life in 2019. The reason why I had thought of having a whole season on children mental health is truly because there’s a child in all of us, so even if you are not a parent or caregiver, this is for anyone who grew up as a child in the Latinx culture.  In this trailer, I give a few updates with Latinx Therapy including We opened a wellness center in Burbank, CA and are renting office spaces & have a group/training room for events (fits 30 people).

La chancla, which refers to a flip flop in Spanish, is a cultural discipline style that has evolved to be very symbolic. La chancla can also refer cords, cables, the belt, hangers, any item that can be used to inflict pain as a punishment. Often, it is also a trigger word and is a form of child abuse. In this special 1-hour sesión, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Maritza Plascencia shares her personal experience with la chancla, and dives deeper with her professional knowledge about the generational differences of la chancla, the use of it in schools, when discipline crosses the line, when professionals and people need to report, why it is used and what people can do instead.  You can find more about Maritza at www.mindfulquestrelationshipcounseling.com/  Instagram: @MindfulQuestRC Facebook: Mindful Quest Counseling Resources: ChildHelp: www.childhelp.org is a nonprofit dedicated to helping victims of child abuse, neglect and at-risk children.

Sex is: for marriage, between a man and a woman, or behind closed doors. Think again!   Welcome to sesion #14! I am really excited about today's episode because this topic is one that has heavy shame woven into it, and today, we start to break this stigma down. Dr. Janet Brito, located in Hawaii, talks to us about the psychological notions that have been instills in us from generations ago. We talk about sex taboos, promiscuity, consequences for avoiding the topic of sex, what is sex therapy and common reasons why people go into sex therapy. Dr. Brito also answers two very common questions, such as: "How do I talk to my child about sex? What is the appropriate age?" and “how do I cope with sexual infidelity?” Growing up, the saying Dr. Brito heard in regards to mental health was: “no le heches mucha crema a tus tacos.” She is the owner of Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health. Her website is very informative so be sure to check it out!

Did you carry the role of translating for your parents? The academic term for a child translating for a parent is “language brokering” so you will hear us refer to that in this segment. We also mentioned that children take on a “parentified” role, meaning where a child takes the role and responsibilities of an adult. In this segment, I talked with Lisette Sanchez, about the psychological and emotional effects of parents and children when this cultural value of translating out of necessity is used, such as the tendency of wanting to please parents but also a parent’s frustration and shame. We explored how to support young translators and also parents, along with discussing inappropriate settings where children should not be translating. Lisette shares a story of her time living in Oregon and moments when she experienced fear in speaking Spanish.   Find many important resources below.   You can find Lisette on Instagram @ChingonaScholar and LinkedIN.

Exploramos cómo apoyar a los jóvenes traductores y también a los padres, al igual que discutir las configuraciones apropiadas cuando los niños no deberían de traducir.

¡Bienvenidos a la segunda temporada! Hoy visitamos a nuestro primer segmento, pero en español. La chancla es un símbolo de disciplina corporal muy reconocido en la cultura Latina. La chancla también puede incluir cordones, cables, cinturones, ganchos, o cualquier elemento que pueda usarse para infligir dolor físico como castigo. Es una palabra que puede provoca recuerdos traumáticos y también se refiere a una forma de abuso infantil. En esta sesión especial, Maritza Plascencia, terapeuta matrimonial y familiar con licencia, comparte su experiencia personal con la chancla, y su conocimiento profesional sobre las diferencias generacionales de la chancla, el uso de este método de disciplina en las escuelas, cuando la disciplina corporal cruza el línea, cuando los profesionales necesitan reportar a las autoridades, por qué se usa y formas alternativas de disciplina. El próximo segmento en español sale el 18 de Septiembre, 2018.   Puede encontrar más información sobre Maritza en su sitio web: www.mindfulquestrelationshipcounseling.com/ Instagram: @MindfulQuestRC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindfulquestrelationshipcounseling   Visiten:  Twitter/Instagram: @LatinxTherapy Facebook: www.facebook.com/officiallatinxtherapy   Para donar:  Venmo: @LatinxTherapy Paypal: latinxtherapypodcast@gmail.com   Si necesitan recursos, pueden comunicarse con Maritza, o conmigo a directamente: latinxtherapypodcast@gmail.com
