    LMP en Español E13: Quítate la Mascara! o no...

    En este episodio vamos a hablar de ... la máscara.  Las máscaras son un símbolo de límites, protección, escondite y hasta actuación. De una u otra forma, todas nos ponemos la máscara de vez en cuando. En este episodio nos vamos a preguntar: ¿qué estamos ocultando… y por qué? ¿Y cuándo, dónde, y con quién estamos dispuestas a quitarnos esa máscara para mostrarnos tal cual somos? Las máscaras y los disfraces son divertidos, sobre todo en estas fechas… pero también, ¿cómo es que nos pueden ayudar a reflexionar y posiblemente trabajar temas emocionales?  Questions, Comments, or Want to be a Guest?

    LMP 13: Quitate La Máscara, Take that Mask off! or not...

    As Halloween is around the corner, this episode will be all about masks- mascaras! Masks are a symbol of boundaries, protection, hiding, and/or performance. In one way or another, we all wear a mask sometimes, or in specific setting. In this episode, we are going to ask ourselves: what are we covering up and why? And- when and where, and with who, are we willing to remove that mask, to be seen for who we really are?  Mascaras and costumes are fun, especially around these times… but also, how can they inform reflections and emotional work we may want to engage in?  Questions, Comments, or Want to be a Guest?
