I wouldn't trade this pain for anything in this world

Sensitive and at the same time "down to earth", which is, as I understand it, a flexible way of dealing with the pains of life. Sensitive in the sense of connecting with the other, with the eyes, with the whole body. "Foot on the ground" in the sense of not running away from the pain that is there, in life.

Did you know that...

From September 18th to 25th, the National Traffic Week is celebrated! Did you know that: 1. 28% of deaths from traffic accidents in the world result from alcohol consumption? 2. Is about 1 in 20 traffic deaths related to harmful alcohol use? 3. Men are involved in more drunk traffic accidents than women. 4. In 2018, about 41% of drivers who died in traffic accidents in Rio Grande do Sul had blood alcohol. The data is alarming and the most frightening is that even with 12 years of Prohibition , there was only a 14% reduction in the number of deaths from traffic accidents in Brazil. Therefore: 1. Be a careful and prudent driver! 2. Do not use alcohol if you are driving! 3. Protect your life and that of others! 4. Think, and don't drive! 5. If you have a problem with alcohol, if your family is uncomfortable when you drink, look for a professional to help you. CEFI has a multidisciplinary care team in addiction. The Integration Nucleus is formed by trained professionals with extensive experience in caring for people who suffer losses and / or limitations resulting from the use of substances. If you identify yourself or have a family member or acquaintance who has problems with alcohol and / or other substances, seek help, contact us! CEFI: (51) 99420-7006...

Patience

In today's text I talk a little about rescuing the present moment, which is where our life takes place, and I share a song that reinforces the importance of that for me.

About being here

"Daddy's here", my daughter tells me, in her little cotton candy voice. This being here is something so simple, so banal, but that in most of the moments of my day it is not so easy to do.

Effective Questions for Couples

The art of marital psychotherapy is to help the couple find a meaningful life and achieve the desired changes. This process is complex, and what can help most are questions that help with reflection. From the Contextual Behavioral Therapy, I have selected and shared here, in an informal way, my favorite questions.

How do we understand mourning?

Most people lose something or someone important during their life, perhaps a family member, their job, health, a relationship or even a belief that made a lot of sense and that now has less. We are all prone to losing valuable bonds throughout our lives, it is part of having changes, and that we change along with it.

The Imperfect Therapist

In times of celebrations alluding to the Day of the Psychologist, we need to discuss a agenda that, in my perspective, is a real urgency: the vulnerability of the therapist. I don't know if the therapists who will be reading this text will identify with my description, since the experience can be different for each one. But from my place, I identify since the graduation course, the absence of that look. The most we heard was that, if we wanted to work with human suffering, we needed to understand our own. Therefore, "do therapy". Okay, so far understood. But when we arrived at the first therapists' offices, when we talked to teachers, who are great influencers in our frame as people and professionals, I felt something in common: detachment. No one spoke of each other's pains and difficulties. I finished graduation thinking that opening a doctor's office was enough to rent a room, decorate and start spreading. So silly me. The experience at the clinic took me in very different ways. And there I was trying to understand my difficulties through an individual therapeutic process....
