The Casa Sol Psychology Podcast

En este episodio exploramos cómo la positividad tóxica puede volverse una forma de negar el dolor y evitar sanar de verdad. Hablamos del impacto que tiene en la salud mental, especialmente en personas con trauma o TDAH, y de cómo esta presión constante por “estar bien” puede desconectarnos de nuestras emociones más reales. Acompáñanos en una conversación honesta sobre lo que significa permitirnos sentir, sin culpa ni filtros. Has sentido que te sientes peor después de que alguien te dice que “todo pasa por algo”? Este episodio está en español. Cada tanto me gusta hacer un episodio en este idioma para conectar con quienes, como yo, viven entre dos mundos. Crecer en Miami y ser mitad argentina me hizo vivir en inglés y español al mismo tiempo. Aunque el español no es exactamente mi primera lengua, sigue siendo una parte enorme de quién soy y de cómo me conecto con mi lado hispano. This episode is in Spanish. Every so often, I like to switch things up and connect with listeners in both languages. Growing up in Miami and being half Argentinian means I’ve always lived between English and Spanish. Even if Spanish isn’t fully my first language, it’s a big part of who I am and how I connect with my Hispanic side.
