Why are more and more people needing a psychologist?
The need to resort to a psychologist is not necessarily relative to an increase in psychological problems, but rather has its origin, in the advance in the culture of self-care, in identifying that when there are things that do not make sense to us, we can do something by respect and it is not required to have a serious psychological problem to ask for guidance and accompaniment. In recent years, the new psychological currents that are increasingly distancing themselves from the establishment of LABELS and have focused on solving the problems that afflict the patient has contributed to this.
What is emotional intelligence?
It is a psychological current that seeks to share the most recent discoveries in how people can self regulate and change and control our feelings, that is, starting from the fact that emotion is a direct reaction to an event, but the feeling is something of its own, created Because of this reaction and our thoughts, in short, the problem is not what happens to you, but how you react to what happens to you. It seeks to generate awareness and learning in people to actively face life situations, as a participant and not as a disabled victim.
What characteristics must a good psychologist meet?
