Acompañar en el proceso: Nadie debería pedir permiso para ser quien es. Con Selena Millán. #193

Welcome to a new episode of Practice Positive Psychology! 🎙️ 👉 Download the bonus content for this episode here: https://www.iepp.es/capitulos-podcast... In this episode, we talk with Selena Millán, a trans activist 🏳️‍⚧️, about the process of building one's own identity in a society where, at times, being yourself can involve fear, uncertainty, or rejection. Selena shares her personal experience and reflects on concepts like passing and cispassing, the social pressure to fit in, and the very real fear that many trans people feel about the possibility of suffering aggression, discrimination, or violence simply for walking down the street as who they are. 💔 We also discuss the fundamental role that the environment can play. Selena recounts how her family's support was a source of strength during particularly challenging times, reminding us that being there for someone doesn't mean understanding everything, but rather being present, listening, and respecting. 🫂❤️ Throughout the conversation, we explore how to navigate change, the emotional impact of others' opinions and judgments, and the importance of not getting stuck solely on the suffering along the way. Because, while certain experiences can be difficult and unfair, there's also the possibility of looking ahead, building a more authentic life, and discovering new opportunities, relationships, and ways to feel good. 🌱✨ An episode about identity, respect, diversity, and support. An invitation to reflect on how we can contribute to creating environments where no one has to ask permission to be who they are. 🏳️‍⚧️ ✨ Special guest: Selena Millán (  / selmilan  ) is a Spanish trans activist, content creator, writer, and educator born in Gran Canaria. 🎓 Want to delve deeper?
