Closing cycles doesn't go out of style, it's not a cliché. This is a precious possibility to act in a manner consistent with what we believe and value to the end.

December 08, 2020It is the first days of December. We are at the beginning of the last month of the year. Different perspectives on the same event. I begin this text with an invitation to pause. An exercise of awareness and perspective on your year. Not about everyone's year, not about this pandemic 2020 that marks the life and history of all humanity, but its year. An invitation to look, with your "inside eyes" at your experiences, your processes, your movements, your choices during the past year.

December 03, 2020If you can forgive me for relaxing, I start with a joke. One guy wanted to join a group of superheroes. He sought out the leader of the superheroes, who inquired about the candidate's superpower. The same answered: "My power is to want". The leader of the super heroes looked under his super mask at the candidate's eyes and said “Wanting is not power!”...

December 01, 2020In fact, we spend our lives avoiding suffering. However, paradoxically, sometimes our attitudes, or lack thereof, in an attempt to keep us safe, drive us or keep us connected to suffering. At this moment, I think I could go on several paths to talk about our characteristic. How about the times that we are procrastinating, anxious, in circles, like a dog chasing its tail. I could talk about some distressing aspects of self-criticism, which often paralyzes us. But what remains fixed in my head is the change of channel, the turn of the key, which I heard from a teacher when talking about the resistances that we often face in the face of the attitudes that can benefit us. One point is to look at what prevents or keeps us from doing something good or necessary for ourselves. The other is precisely to be able to be attentive, to relate, and to understand what our needs are asking to be met with our avoidance behavior (procrastinator, or any other expression you want to use at this moment) of what can keep us in situations that harm us , which make us close to avoidable suffering. If, for example, we follow the CNV line *, when we find ourselves restless, anxious, procrastinating, self-critical, stop a little, reflect more deeply and try to answer the following points: - When I stop doing it, I postpone it, I don't prioritize "it" (a task, my treatment, a physical activity) I feel ... (anxious, sad, frustrated) E I realize that my needs for ... (security, evolution, tranquility) are not being met....

November 24, 2020After many fights, including thinking about separation, Joice learned of the existence of the IBCT (Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy) and proposed to Alfredo to do the couple therapy. Both liked this approach because it did not force people to change, but proposed to go to the root of the problems, to know the underlying causes, to help in understanding the differences of the couple and in accepting the personality characteristics of each one. It also proposed improving the form of communication and interaction, as well as recovering the positive aspects of the relationship.

November 06, 2020How to adopt a non-judgmental stance? Kabat Zinn, one of the main precursors of mindfulness studies, described this ability as paying attention on purpose and without judgment. But have you managed to stop having thoughts that you judge? I do not! But then, what can be done for that?
