Psychotherapy is a rational way to address and treat persistent emotional or psychological problems. It is based on theories and methodologies developed and perfected by psychologists, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts through their clinical work over more than a century. During this time, different types of psychotherapy have been developed which can be applied according to the patients’ preferences or according to the type of problem they want to treat. Each psychotherapist will apply the methodology with which he feels best and with which he obtains the best results.
Psychological and emotional disorders have their origin in childhood. They are the result of the baby or child’s efforts to adapt to the environment and its demands. The typical causes of disorders in adults are physical or psychological abuse, physical or emotional deprivation, isolation, loneliness and hardship in general.
Psychotherapy is a process through which the emotional part and the rational part of the affected person are integrated so that the old defenses, which have been acting since childhood, can be understood and deactivated. At the body level, chronic tensions and blockages that are related to psychological defenses are dissolved, returning to the organism its capacity for natural drive.
Basically all emotional disorders that are not the result of a physical injury or that have not caused injuries to the body. Even in the most difficult cases that cannot be completely cured, however, the quality of life of the affected person can usually be greatly improved.
The most important thing is to recognize that you have a problem and want to solve it even if it is not always easy. It is also necessary to be willing to spend the time necessary to reach the set objectives.
That depends a lot on what type of problem you have. If it is a more or less recent trauma, such as an accident, the death of a loved one or a difficult birth, it can be treated in a few sessions. If it’s something that’s been around your whole life, it’s probably going to take a lot more. A diagnostic session is always necessary to establish the type of problem being treated and the type of treatment it requires.
Everything that is said or done in session is confidential and cannot be disclosed outside of the therapeutic space. However, there are some exceptions to this rule:
-If the patient is a minor, parents or guardians can be informed.
-If there is a court order that indicates it.
-All psychotherapists do supervision with colleagues. During these supervisions you can talk about the sessions, taking care at all times not to disclose data that would allow the patient to be identified. The supervisor also has a legal duty of confidentiality.
Appointments can be made by phone, WhatsApp or by clicking on the ‘contact’ button. To cancel an appointment it is necessary to do so at least 24 hours before it. The exceptions to this rule are medical or other emergencies.
