In this episode of Going Inside, I sit down with Leslie Sanchez, a licensed therapist who specializes in helping first-generation Latinx individuals heal from childhood trauma caused by emotionally immature parents. Together, we delve into the complexities of growing up with emotionally immature caregivers, the lasting impact it has on adult relationships, self-esteem, and the challenges of setting boundaries. Leslie shares her journey of recognizing her childhood wounds, the importance of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in her healing process, and how she empowers her clients to reconnect with their authentic selves and break free from generational cycles.

Key Takeaways:

1. Growing up with emotionally immature parents can shape lifelong patterns in self-worth, relationships, and communication.
2. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy fosters self-compassion and helps individuals heal internal conflicts.
3. Setting boundaries with emotionally immature parents is essential for personal growth and breaking generational cycles.
