How is the Coffee with Balance format?

It is a short space of between 10 and 15 minutes that is broadcast from Monday to Thursday. The attractiveness of the format is that you can interact with the professionals live, a fact that turns the program into a dynamic space in which a conversation with the audience takes place.

The topics that are addressed are very diverse, always related to psychology. Each week a general theme is proposed, and during the different broadcasts of the program this theme is deepened.

In addition, the creators of this space give us the opportunity to propose themes for the next programs, which turns the space into something alive, by and for the audience.

What topics are addressed in the program?

Café con Equilibrio is a psychology program, so all topics have to do with this science. Nevertheless, communication is done in an informative way. In other words, you don't have to be an expert in psychology to understand what is being said in this space.

In addition, an attempt is always made to give a practical perspective, so that viewers can apply what they learn during the show to their lives.

In recent weeks, topics such as “Discomfort makes me grow”, “Self-esteem”, “Social support” or “Christmas stresses me out” have been addressed.

Who presents Coffee with Balance?

The psychologist in charge of this program is Jesús Matos, the director of the psychology center In Mental Equilibrium.

Jesús has a degree in psychology from the Complutense University of Madrid, a Master's in Clinical Psychology and health at the same university and Master's degree in legal and forensic psychology from the European Foundation of Psychology. Also, he is the author of the book Good morning joy, TEDx speaker (TEDXPinamar 2019 and TEDxSanJoséDeDavid2019), and regular contributor to Saber Vivir magazine and the Huffington Post.
