Apapachar, to carress with the soul. When was the last time you gave this to yourself?

Your messy part, your impatience, your berrinche, your sad, lonely, joyous, unreasonably excited and loud parts?

Maybe you've been putting her aside, telling her to quiet down

Telling her now isn't the time, you don't have time to deal with her right now

Maybe In your head there's a voice that says she's too much. Too loud, too sensitive, too dramatic.

She deserves to be seen. To be held. To play.

This is what I'll be covering in Love Letter to Inner Child.

In this 3 day platica/workshop, we'll go over

1. How to listen to what your inner child is feeling and needing - deep listening

2. How to sit with and attune to them - emotional regulation for difficult emotions

3. How to invite integration - rest and play for more ease today

💕I made this especially for you if you've been feeling that

💕your emotions have been to hold

💕you can't help your reactions to parents or other people in your life

I got you, mujer.

Join Me in Supporting Latinx Communities: Launch of the Scholarship Fund for Group Therapy

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the scholarship fund, aimed at providing free group therapy sessions to individuals from Latinx communities. As I strive to create a more inclusive and supportive environment, I invite you to join me in reaching my goal of filling our first cohort of group therapy and raising $6,000 to support this important initiative.

I recognize the critical need for accessible mental health resources, especially within marginalized communities. Through our scholarship program, I aim to provide individuals with the opportunity to participate in 6-week therapy groups, covering topics such as anxiety management, depression, avoiding burnout, setting boundaries, and recovering from trauma. I firmly believe that having community leaders who share identities and experiences is essential for fostering a supportive and empowering environment.

However, I cannot achieve my goals without the support of individuals like you. Your donation will directly impact the lives of Latinx women and people of color by breaking down financial barriers and providing them with the mental health support they deserve. Together, we can make a difference and uplift these communities.

Here's how you can contribute to our scholarship fund:

1. Online Donation: Visit our secure donation page at www.claudiaparadaenergy.com to make an online contribution. Every dollar counts, and even a small donation can go a long way in transforming someone's life.

2. Share on Social Media: Help me spread the word by sharing our mission and donation page on your social media platforms. Use the power of your online presence to raise awareness and encourage others to support the cause.

Your generous contribution will enable me to fill the first cohort of group therapy and reach my goal of $6,000. By supporting this scholarship fund, you are directly empowering individuals to overcome mental health challenges, build resilience, and create a supportive community.

To learn more about my healing work, the scholarship program, and how you can contribute, please visit my website at https://claudiaparadaenergy.com/donate-to-our-scholarship-fund. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at 415-506-9545.

Thank you for considering my request, and for your commitment to centering access to mental health for Latinx communities. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Immediate openings are available in my therapy practice, with a sliding scale for accessibility for la comunidad.

I specialize in providing a healing space for Latinx individuals, women of color, and people of the global majority.

✨ How much pleasure can you hold? 🌺​​​​​​​​​
Think about it. What were you taught about deserving support? When, if ever, were you allowed to ask for help? Or have you been carrying the weight on your own until you're completely depleted?

Here's the truth: You deserve pleasure and peace simply because you exist. No conditions, no earning required. It's yours to claim.

It's painful to constantly push through until there's nothing left to give—be it at work, in relationships, or even to yourself, your partners, and your family.

But listen, mujer, I see you. And I'm here to affirm:

You don't have to do it alone. You can rest. You can receive.

We're in this together! 💪🏽❤️

As a therapist, I'm here to help you break free from generational patterns that hold you back. Together, we'll create balance, embrace your authentic self, and reignite passion and motivation in every aspect of your life. Yes, it's absolutely possible!

Guess what? I currently have immediate openings in my therapy practice! If you're ready to experience the transformative power of therapy and receive the support you deserve, don't hesitate any longer!

💌 DM me or click the link in my bio to schedule a call and let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

You deserve pleasure, support, and a life that aligns with your true essence. Let's make it happen, starting now!
