The C.S. Caf‪é‬ Crystal Santoría

Too many of us have things that trigger events that happened in our past. Like PTSD, sometimes we are unaware of triggers until therapy where someone gives us the tools to identify them and work on the root cause. People around you (that didn't hurt you) don't know when you're triggered unless you tell them that it affected you. Make sure you're taking care of your psychological self as well so you can identify your triggers and work to control them.

Relationships are hard to navigate especially when you're trying to put together pieces that don't fit. Often times we're too well invested to take a step back and understand when it's not going anywhere until too much damage has already been done. In this episode, we separate relationships with a childhood game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Which one are you or have you been?

In this episode, we get into a battle between self. It's like a person with two personas hiding behind ne another until one takes the lead and takes over.  We've all been there comparing ourselves, imposter syndrome, creating an alter ego to do what we cannot. It's all the same if you ask me. Truth is, you are everyone you create. You just have to put them together to make a whole.

We have heard generation after generation comparing one another from parenting styles, politics, fashion, and behaviors. We never realize that behaviors are taught and bleed through generations that never cut them off. We complain because the next generation doing the same thing the previous one did. It's all the same so what's the comparison?

In this episode, we discuss how everyone talks a good game about generational curses but no one wants to actually start breaking them. Breaking generational curses isn't always spiritual (Reading the Bible, going to church, praying). Sometimes breaking generational curses are going to therapy, AA, rehab etc. Other times it's breaking generational behaviors like lying, quick temper, fighting, impatience, etc. You have to start with yourself first.

This is a PSA to those men who deem women's NO as not enough! MAKE IT ENOUGH! The men who cannot handle rejection burn it down for many. Our "NO" won't kill you! You do not need to grab a weapon because you've been rejected. Deal with negative emotions in therapy before you deal with a prison permanently.
