Empowering Conversations: Latina Therapy, Chick Lit, and The Body Keeps the Score


In this episode of the Chick Lit Podcast, host Vanessa connects with her friend and Latina therapist Juliana Londoño. They discuss their deep bond rooted in their Latina and Colombian heritage and shared experiences in northern New Jersey. The conversation dives into the misconceptions about therapists being perfect and highlights the importance of humanizing their struggles. They also explore the heavy themes in 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van der Kolk, touching on trauma, community support, and the impact of early life experiences on mental health. Additionally, they discuss the importance of creating new neural pathways by challenging oneself and reframing thoughts. The episode emphasizes the intersectionality of Latinos and BIPOC communities in mainstream mental health discussions. Juliana shares her latest project, a bilingual mental health newsletter, and her goal of raising awareness about mental health within these communities.
