**Abrazando la Vulnerabilidad: Desafiando Estereotipos y Fomentando la Salud Emocional en Hombres Hispanos**
En este revelador episodio de "Recuperando la Vida", profundizamos en el tema a menudo ignorado de por qué muchos hombres hispano-latinos evitan buscar terapia. Nuestros invitados especiales, incluyendo a Javier Ramírez de Terapia Peregrino, Carina Valladolid y Julio Alves, comparten sus experiencias personales y perspectivas sobre la terapia, el autoconocimiento y el estigma social asociado a buscar ayuda.
Desafiamos las expectativas de género establecidas por las normas patriarcales y confrontamos los conceptos erróneos que ven la terapia como un signo de debilidad o inestabilidad. A través de esta conmovedora discusión, buscamos redefinir la terapia como un gimnasio para el bienestar emocional, un lugar donde los hombres pueden fortalecer y mantener su salud emocional.
En un segmento particularmente convincente, Javier comparte su viaje con la terapia, consolidando la creencia de que la autorrealización no es un signo de debilidad, sino más bien la clave para la fortaleza interior y relaciones interpersonales más saludables. Te invitamos a unirte a nuestra crucial conversación sobre masculinidad, salud mental y el poder de la vulnerabilidad.
Este episodio del podcast también destaca el poder transformador de la terapia en la reestructuración de procesos de pensamiento y la oferta de nuevas perspectivas. Derribamos las normas sociales asfixiantes y los estereotipos asociados con la masculinidad, alentando a los individuos, especialmente a los hombres, a sentirse seguros en su vulnerabilidad y a comprender la importancia de buscar ayuda.
Finalmente, exploramos la llamativa hipótesis propuesta por Jacques Lacan de que los seres humanos construyen su identidad desde dentro pero buscan validación del mundo exterior. Enfatizamos la fragilidad de la psique humana, su papel crucial en el crecimiento emocional y cómo abrazar ambos puede llevar a un mayor autoconocimiento y desarrollo personal.
**Desaprendiendo, Aceptando y Evolucionando: Una Conversación Sincera sobre Salud Mental, Envejecimiento y Psicodélicos**
Puenteando la brecha entre las normas sociales y el bienestar emocional, desentrañamos las complejidades de nuestro viaje de salud mental. Examinamos cómo el condicionamiento infantil, las obligaciones sociales, las estructuras mentales rígidas y las perspectivas generacionales influyen en nuestra salud mental y satisfacción general en la vida.
A continuación, la conversación toma un giro para explorar el potencial de los psicodélicos como herramienta dentro de la terapia psicológica para el tratamiento de adicciones. Discutimos estudios actuales que se están llevando a cabo sobre microdosis con psilocibina y destacamos la precaución y la orientación profesional necesarias para usar esta herramienta en el cuidado de la salud mental.
Las narrativas compartidas fomentan una apreciación por la belleza del envejecimiento, la importancia de estar más presentes y las infinitas posibilidades de crecimiento personal. Al hacerlo, buscamos normalizar las discusiones sobre salud mental, alentando a los individuos a superar comportamientos condicionados y a abrazar nuevas experiencias y perspectivas.
Espero les guste, les sirva, lo compartan y pues.... si gustan: vengan a terapia que como dice Javier: La terapia es para todos!

It is possible to posses the potential for higher consciousness and still turn your back on it, it is the easiest thing in the world to remain ignorant of yourself as a Cosmic Being.
Here's how you do it:
Think the same as everyone else.
Follow old habits and conditioning.
Accept society's collective beliefs.
Conform in order to remain "safe".
Cling to your story as your identity.
Protect your self image.
Look our for # 1.
From Deepak Chopra's book Quantum Body.
The quote I mention in this episode:
"Remember how long you've been putting this off, how many extenssions the gods gave you, and you didn't use them.
At some point you have to recognize what world it is that you belong to; what power rules it and from what source you spring; that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don't use it to free yourself it will be goine and will never return."

Phileena Nikole (formerly Phileena Heurtz) is our guest on this episode of the Tales of Recovery Podcast.
I am forever grateful for Phileena, who is also an author, teacher, spiritual director, retreat guide and trauma informed yoga instructor. She has been INSTRUMENTAL in my unraveling from religious beliefs and with the utmost compassion I have ever encountered.
I met her many many years ago when some dear friends of mine recommended her as a spiritual director. I had read her first book and reached out for what turned out to be a year of incredible transformation and liberation of my heart.
As we chat about here on the podcast, Phileena helped me move from the prison of religious belief systems to the REMEMBERING of who I am and coming into contact with my inner intuition, and a she calls it, "my Inner Knowing".
Phileena shares with us her own unraveling with religion, through contemplative practices and a somatic approach as she explains how the body has a way of alerting us when something is just not working out. Our conversation includes talking about what it is to have a teaching/learning experience vs a lived reality and how listening to your body is key in this journey of Spirituality.
You can find Phileena on IG as @phileena and on her webpage www.phileena.com
Phileena’s discerning guidance has been featured by Center for Action and Contemplation’s Conspire, Sojourner’s Summit, Q Ideas, The Work of the People, Catalyst, Immerse, Darkwood Brew and more.
She is also the author of Pilgrimage of a Soul, a provocative theological narrative set along the Camino de Santiago, and Mindful Silence, a vulnerable exploration of the Christian contemplative tradition.
She does live up in the mountains of New Mexico, so we had a tiny bit of technical issues but I edited it the best I could and I appreciate your patience with this because this recording is just TOO good to be true :)
Grab your cup of tea and listen in ~ May this podcast be helpful on your journey to your True Self.
With much Love,
Gris
