In this episode of La Madrastra, we explore the blended family dynamic and other mental health topics with Karla Peregrino, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. We highlight shared experiences with identifying cultural assets, resilience, and the importance of mental health, as well as patterns in stepfamilies, like chronic invalidation and attachment. 

Join us as we dive into our experience growing up as children of immigrants, childhood trauma, our mental health journey as clients and professionals, the importance of culturally-relevant therapy,  stepfamily dynamics, and stepmom self-care!
