The goal of psychotherapy is to be able to understand and manage suffering and personal difficulties in order to live better.

Imagine that mental health is like a house that must have a good foundation, good main walls and a solid roof.

The foundations would be what are the daily habits of the person. How do you sleep? How do you eat? Do you take drugs or have toxic relationships? Do you like the activities that occupy your day to day? Are you satisfied? Do you feel fulfilled? Do you have a life worth living?

The main walls would be the emotional resources to manage moments of discomfort. What do I turn to when I feel bad? What resources do I put in place to tolerate suffering? Are these resources healthy?

Finally, the roof would be to be able to identify the nature of the relationship with others and with oneself. We often think of relationships as something that has to do with others, but we do not always appreciate that the relationship with oneself must be a good one.

In this therapeutic space I work with the patient to create a team to assess how the mental health house is and how it would be necessary to intervene to improve at the corresponding level.
