@therapylux: This week’s Therapy Fridays está deeeeeep, we unpacked family dynamics, roles, and patterns. If you’re from a Latino family, you know how real this can get. Los valores y tradiciones son fuertes, but sometimes they come with a sprinkle of dysfunction. In many Latino families, there’s this huge focus on keeping the fam tight and loyal, which can sometimes cancel autonomy. Everyone’s got their roles, y a veces esas expectativas no van con los personal goals or feelings. Like, the eldest child might feel the pressure to step up like a parent early on, or una hija might be expected to put family duties over her own dreams. And let’s talk about comunicación—it’s tricky. A lot of familias don’t do the whole open emotions thing, gracias a cultural norms that put respect and obedience first. Esto puede llevar a misunderstandings and conflicts that just don’t get resolved. Pero here’s the thing... Latino families are resilient AF. They’re figuring out cómo mezclar tradition con el mundo moderno, opening up the convo, and creating healthier patterns. By recognizing these patterns, families can totally move towards healing. ❤️‍🩹 #therapyfridays #familytherapy #bilingualtherapist #latinomentalhealth
