ways to get started…
books, videos, and additional community resources
below you’ll find a variety of book recommendations… sometimes we need to hear a message through a non-direct source and books can be just that!
book recommendations to get started
learn to understand how childhood adversity impacts lifelong mental and physical health
trauma throughout the lifetime and understanding how culture plays a role
creating a path to body neutrality and connecting back with our body
understanding how each of us hold different “parts” within us that keep us safe
understanding codependency and working at setting boundaries/ expectations
understanding the transition to and expectations of motherhood/parenthood
how our parents parenting impacted us and identifying immature family behaviors
how attachment with our parents sets the stage for our connection (or disconnection) with our partners
identifying what stops us from accessing the courage to be vulnerable
community resources
Please note, I’m not affiliated with any of these services but want to provide access to community mental health resources. Most of these resources provide both in-person and virtual therapy in English and Spanish.
