A way of working adapted to each person
I work from an integrative perspective, combining different therapeutic approaches based on your history, your needs, and the moment of the process.
EMDR · Brainspotting · Somatic Experiencing
01 — EMDR
Desensitization and Reprocessing by Eye Movements
The acronym EMDR comes from the English terms Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
EMDR is a psychotherapeutic approach based on the Adaptive Information Processing model. Part of the idea is that some particularly difficult experiences may not have been properly processed and continue to influence how we think, feel, or react in the present.
During the therapeutic process, memories, emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations associated with those experiences are worked on, using bilateral stimulation as part of the procedure.
The goal is to facilitate the processing of those experiences within a therapeutic environment that is safe and adapted to the pace and needs of each individual.
It can be especially integrated into processes related to trauma and difficult experiences.
02 — BRAINSPOTTING
A gaze that connects emotional and bodily experience
Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach developed by David Grand in 2003 based on his observations during his work with EMDR.
Part of the relationship between certain points of the visual field and the emotional and bodily responses that may appear when connecting with an experience.
During the session, attention is paid to what the person experiences while keeping their gaze fixed on certain points, observing the emotions, sensations, and responses that arise.
Within a broader therapeutic process, Brainspotting can be used as a tool to explore and work with experiences that continue to generate activation or discomfort.
Attention is directed both to the emotional experience and to what happens in the body.
03 — SOMATIC EXPERIENCES
Integrating the body into the therapeutic process
Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic approach that pays special attention to the body's and nervous system's responses associated with stress and traumatic experiences.
The work starts with gradually observing the sensations and responses that appear in the body, favoring a greater awareness of what is happening and developing regulatory resources.
This perspective allows us to incorporate into the therapeutic process not only what we think or feel emotionally, but also the way our body responds to certain experiences.
Somatic Experiencing can be integrated with other therapeutic tools depending on the needs and the moment of each person's process.
Mind, emotions, and body are part of the same experience.
What therapy do I need? You don't need to know that before you start
It is not necessary to come to the consultation knowing which methodology may be the most suitable for you.
The first step will be to understand what is happening, learn about your story, and assess your needs. From there, we can set up a personalized therapeutic process and integrate the tools that are most appropriate at each moment.
The methodology adapts to the person and their process.
