How Past Relationships Shape Us

How Past Relationships Shape Us

In this episode, therapists Brianda Garcia and Hanna Garza discuss the lasting impact that past interpersonal relationships can have on our emotional well-being — whether those relationships ended mutually, gradually faded, or ended through painful ruptures. We discuss how unresolved hurt, abandonment, betrayal, grief, and attachment wounds can continue to shape the way we view ourselves, trust others, and navigate future relationships. Whether you’re processing heartbreak, friendship loss, family conflict, or the ending of a significant relationship, this conversation offers insight, validation, and encouragement for the healing journey.

Navigating Parent Relationships as You Grow

In this episode of Latinas Talkin’ Therapy, therapists Brianda Garcia and Hanna Garza dive into the ever-evolving dynamics between adult children and their parents. From setting limits that may feel uncomfortable to redefining communication patterns rooted in cultura, they explore what it really looks like to establish boundaries at home. They discuss the spectrum of parental responses- some struggling to adjust to these changes, while others begin to embrace healthier, more respectful ways of connecting. Through personal stories and professional insight, Brianda and Hanna reflect on their own journeys of setting boundaries with their parents and the emotional complexity that can come with it. Tune in for an honest, relatable conversation about growth, healing, and honoring yourself while staying connected to your roots.

Hablemos New Years Resolutions and Intentions

In this episode of Latinas Talkin Therapy, we’re talking about the pressure of New Year’s resolutions vs. the gentler (and more sustainable) practice of setting intentions—especially in a time when so much is happening around us and impacting people on a very real level. As Latina therapists, we’re holding space for clients who are navigating uncertainty, stress, grief, burnout, and collective overwhelm—while still being told to “set goals” and “start fresh.” We share how we talk about goal-setting with our clients in a way that’s trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in compassion rather than productivity. We also reflect on how we’re approaching 2026, including our own intentions for the year—what we’re prioritizing, what we’re releasing, and how we’re choosing sustainability over hustle during a time that asks for a lot of us. If you’re feeling pressure to have it all figured out by January, or wondering how to move forward when the world feels heavy, this conversation is for you 🤍 Make sure to follow us on our socials!

Seeing Your Growth: Why Highlighting Client Progress Matters

In this episode of Latinas Talkin’ Therapy, we dive into the importance of recognizing and reflecting back client progress in the therapy room. As therapists, we often witness powerful shifts—big and small—that our clients may overlook or minimize. We explore why clients can be hesitant to receive this feedback, how cultural and personal narratives can make progress feel invisible, and ways to gently affirm growth without invalidating the client's current emotional experience. Whether you're a clinician or someone in therapy, this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t always look the way we expect—and that progress deserves to be honored.
