Psychologist Miguel Valenzuela Hernández (Córdoba)

I understand psychology as an exciting science that tries to understand human behavior in relation to everything that surrounds it, not only in the field but also the culture where we live, the power relations that are established, the sensations of threat to one's own integrity and dignity. In the midst of all this context, we try to live in a way that reduces suffering and often we forget to focus on what is really valuable to ourselves. In addition to psychological care, the training of professionals through Ítaca Formación or Editorial Psara, both of which I am lucky enough to direct as well, they make a constant effort to provide tools that reduce suffering human.

I consider each session as a learning opportunity where we try, together with our consultant, to produce modifications in their own behavior that allow you to feel better with your own behaviors, which in turn are a powerful weapon of change in your environment. I do not understand the so-called "symptoms" as diseases, no proof exists of it, but as ways of trying to adapt to painful or threatening situations. Surely we can find better formulas to help build lives that feel valuable and meaningful.
