Proyecto Mariposa

Proyecto Mariposa Proyecto Mariposa started as a special free mother's day event "Celebrando Nuestras Madres."

The event continues every year to celebrate resilient women living in the Northeast San Fernando Valley. Proyecto Mariposa will provide workshops that address the needs of low-income women living in the Northeast San Fernando Valley. The mothers in this area face many obstacles to live a healthy and safe lifestyle: economic disadvantages, language barriers, gang activity, domestic violence, poor physical and mental health, and difficult family situations. The three core components in each workshop will be to motivate, inspire and empower mothers to make positive changes in their lives. In addition, the workshops will allow mothers to meet other mothers who are going through similar situations serving as a support group and an opportunity to validate their circumstances.

1. Your Nervous System Was Built in Childhood

Before you had language, your body was already learning:
โ€œIs love safe?โ€
โ€œIs comfort available?โ€
โ€œIs the world predictableโ€ฆ or dangerous?โ€

If you grew up around chaos, shouting, silent treatment, neglect, or emotional distance, your nervous system wired itself for survival, not safety. That wiring doesnโ€™t disappear, it follows you.

๐Ÿ”น 2. Your Attachment Blueprint Was Formed Before Age 12

Whether you chase loveโ€ฆ avoid loveโ€ฆ fear loveโ€ฆ or struggle to keep it, you learned that from the emotional climate you grew up in.

Your adult relationships arenโ€™t random.
They mirror the love you were taught to accept.

๐Ÿ”น 3. Childhood Wounds Hide Inside Adult Behaviors

You think itโ€™s โ€œjust anxiety.โ€
You think itโ€™s โ€œjust insecurities.โ€
You think itโ€™s โ€œjust a type.โ€
But psychology calls them:
Unmet needs. Emotional neglect. Attachment wounds. Nervous system memory.

Adults donโ€™t randomly:
โ€ข overthink
โ€ข shut down
โ€ข chase emotionally unavailable people
โ€ข fear abandonment
โ€ข struggle with boundaries
โ€ข over-apologize
โ€ข numb feelings
โ€ข feel unworthy

These are childhood defense mechanisms showing up in adult form.

4. Trauma Isnโ€™t Only What Happened, Itโ€™s What Was Missing

Most people say โ€œI wasnโ€™t abused.โ€
But emotional neglect, lack of affection, lack of protection, and lack of validation shape you just as deeply.

A child who never felt โ€œheldโ€ grows into an adult who never feels โ€œsafe.โ€

5. Childhood Becomes Adulthood When Left Unhealed

Your childhood becomes your:
โ€ข triggers
โ€ข fears
โ€ข attachment style
โ€ข coping mechanisms
โ€ข relationship patterns
โ€ข self-worth
โ€ข emotional reactions

Not because youโ€™re broken but because the child in you never got what they needed.

โœจ The Truth

No, not everything goes back to childhood but the most painful patterns often do.

Because the body keeps score. The brain remembers. And the emotional wounds you werenโ€™t allowed to talk aboutโ€ฆshow up as the behaviors you canโ€™t explain today.

Youโ€™re not dramatic.
Youโ€™re not โ€œtoo much.โ€
Youโ€™re not damaged.

Youโ€™re carrying a story no one helped you process.

If this felt uncomfortably accurate, itโ€™s because your inner child is asking to be seen.
