Anne and Alison interview Cynthia Perez, LCSW, a Chicana therapist, author, public speaker, and Inner Child Hype Woman. We learn how she came to do this work of hyping up our inner child, how to do the work, and why acknowledging our inner child is so important (the pain is not too great! We can do it!). We discuss social justice-informed therapy and healing, the work of feeling self and historical pain, and Cynthia’s Chicana identity.

Cynthia Perez, is a Chicana therapist and Self Proclaimed "Inner Child Hype Woman". Upon entering motherhood she realized she had a lot of Re-Parenting of herself to do. Cynthia created Rooted in Reflection, a mental health meets social justice space. Cynthia enjoys curating inner child workshops that are creative and joyful! Cynthia is a 1st generation latchkey kid to immigrant parents and a storyteller for the family.
