Desiree recaps the week with the Machuca family as they reflect on how beginning to heal feels refreshing and learned a new way to communicate openly. Their father Francisco also learned to be a better listener and encourage the family to speak openly. We hope these family interventions has helped someone out there or share with someone you think can benefit from learning to heal mental health issues, which effects not only the mind but the body, as well. We want to see all forms of stress relieved and family thrive in better health through communication and break down old barricades from years past. The cycle of mental and physical stress can be healed. Thank you for listening to our Podcast. JourneyIntoMentalHealth@gmail.com

Day 3 - Desiree continues her discussion with the Machuca family. In today's episode, the family dives deep into the past where the girls share with their dad how it felt growing up in the home when they were younger. Francisco has promised to allow the girls to express themselves freely without fear and without him losing his temper or showing anger, as they mentioned happened when they were younger. This fear shut them down and made them fearful to speak out. Well, today, Desiree has agreed with the family to take this one step at a time. Let's listen in as they begin this difficult journey into mental health wellness and healing. JourneyIntoMentalHealth@gmail.com. Thanks for listening and for your support.

On Day 2 the Machucha sisters talk about balancing school, home life and social settings. Maria, specifically, talks about one of your friends and how their personal life effects their relationship. Desiree tries to navagate via available resources to help overcome the challenges many young people have related to social activities, family interventions and how all this can effect one's mental health in general. It can be overwhelming at times, but that's why this Podcast is here. To serve and open up dialogue to an otherwise isolated and closed individual. Being able to speak to someone or speak your mind and express your feelings is the beginning of healing and mental health improvement. Thank you for listening and your support of this podcast.
