Psychologist Gema Hidalgo Velázquez

I am Gema, I have a degree in psychology, specializing in clinical psychology, with a health clearance. Trauma expert from the University of Alcalá de Henares and professor of mindfulness and MBSR. My experience in the field of mental health, with people with severe mental disorders and the psychosocial approach to these problems, led me to specialize in the treatment of complex trauma. In most cases, under a diagnosis of anxiety, depression, bipolarity or personality disorders, for example, there is an unresolved traumatic injury, relational or not. Many times, the discomfort manifests itself in the form of stress, behavior problems, difficulties in emotional management, impulsivity or poor anger management. My accompaniment from an integrating perspective, resorting to different tools and psychological techniques, allows me get closer to the suffering of my patients and walk together towards the relief and disappearance of the symptoms that cause so much pain produce. To you who read these lines, I tell you that you have the right to enjoy and be happy. There are simply moments in life when we all need someone to be with us and guide us through training. And I am here to accompany you on the way to achieve it.

Experience working with people with a diagnosis of severe mental disorder (psychosis, schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, etc.). I am in continuous training in somatosensory therapies endorsed by recognized entities in the university and scientific field. On a personal level, I practice meditation and train myself in compassion and self-pity. I love animals, I share my life with three dogs and two cats, life in the open air, walking in the mountains. I also really enjoy writing and letting different stories and characters flow.

Integrative psychotherapy. Professor of the John Kabat-Zinn and Brown University MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program), who is certified by the Global Mindfulness Collaborative (GMC). Expert in Trauma from the University of Alcalá de Henares. What stands out about me is the closeness and kindness with which I relate to the people I care for and my willingness to support painful psychological processes that cause great suffering and discomfort to the people who come to me for support and relief.
