Psychologist Edi Fernández Silván

I am a General Health Psychologist specialized in the treatment of disorders related to psychological trauma and complicated grief. Despite the fact that the word trauma is so familiar to most, the concept we have of it is usually very limited. In fact, it is easy for us to relate symptoms that cause great psychological discomfort with events such as mistreatment, sexual abuse, natural disasters, and wars. But it is difficult for us to see the relationship that exists between symptoms that limit us a lot in our day to day, such as depressive symptoms, anxiety, eating disorders, personality, the psychological suffering derived from seeing how we make the same mistakes over and over again or choose inadequate partners, jobs in which we are not value... with events of our day to day, which sometimes go unnoticed from the outside and can even be difficult to identify for the people who suffer them. I am referring to episodes of humiliation, abandonment, conflictive relationships, lack of parental care for the needs of their children, and the like.

These are events that an adult could manage relatively easily, but if they occur in the early stages of a person's life, they can condition the rest of their life. This is because in childhood the schemes that define who we are are built, how we relate to ourselves and our environment, how we feel and how we think. Given the importance of these events in the construction of adaptive and flexible operating schemes, I consider it essential to start the intervention with a psychodiagnosis to find out where we started from and how we got to this situation, that is, to identify both the schemes that are at the base of the situation in which you find yourself at this moment, and that are causing you as much discomfort and preventing you from living the life you want, as the experiences that have been building them. Its results will determine the intervention proposal for each specific case.
