Renowned psychologist and author Efrén Martínez opens his heart in this revealing episode of Sin Reserva with José Fernando Patiño.

If you seek to understand your childhood wounds and learn about healthy childhoods, this testimony will transform you.

In this intimate interview, Efrén Martínez exposes the raw truth about parenting and intergenerational trauma. You will learn why, if you don't take responsibility for your own history, your wounded inner child will end up raising your children.
