Pax Psychotherapy

PAX means Peace, but in latin.

One of the positive effects of effective psychotherapy is to be at peace, find balance in life, heal, grow, and become a better version of ourselves.

Psychotherapy: This can help you recognize and change worrying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Medications to treat anxiety disorders include anti-anxiety medications and certain antidepressants.

While anxiety can help you cope, give you a boost of energy or help you concentrate, for people with anxiety disorders, fear is not temporary and can be overwhelming.

* The person who is in a toxic relationship feels rejection and fear. To the point of having to measure their words and actions so as not to disturb the other person, since if not they will be threatened with abandonment or the end of the relationship.
* They do not live peacefully, there is hypercontrol towards the partner because there is mistrust. Sometimes justified by the actions of the other person since infidelity is usually a reality.
* High anxiety and sadness in their life, which they compensate with some moment of happiness (they are usually very few compared to the bad ones, although they try to justify them to themselves and to those around them).
* They live in a constant state of alarm.
* They feel that they are “crazy” since their partner makes them see it that way. They usually fall into explosions of sadness or rage to which the other person responds by attacking them with “you are crazy”. However, these “explosions” are caused by activities of their partner that are really worthy of some mistrust.
* He is unable to self-regulate. That is, he needs the other person to be happy and lives on an emotional roller coaster since his well-being and happiness depends on how his partner treats him.
* He feels that he gives more than he receives, so he constantly has the feeling of not being loved.

* Break the tendency of isolation: it is important that you share how you feel with your close circle (friends and family), surely they are capable of accompanying you in your emotions.
* Don't get caught: a person's love is not only shown through the consistency of their words but with the consistency of their actions and their attitude towards you (and towards others).
* You make the decision to end the relationship: think about yourself and your well-being, take good care of yourself. Start by walking away from a relationship that is causing you suffering.
* Try to think about what you would say to another person who was going through your situation: this allows you to reflect from a certain distance.
* Don't turn affection into an excuse to stay in the relationship: love can't do everything. That is to say, even if you have the sensation of feeling something special for that person, living in pain is not an option.
* Ask for professional help: psychological support at this time can be essential. Through therapy you will be able to care for and work on your self-esteem, heal wounds and make decisions that help you have well-being in your life.

Parenting is challenging, but if we want to positively influence our children and want them to be successful and happy, parenting is crucial.

Ser padres es un desafío, pero si queremos influir positivamente en nuestros hijos y queremos que tengan éxito y sean felices, la crianza de los hijos es crucial.

Any form of violence in schools violates several children's rights, including the right to education and protection. These rights are particularly damaged in the case of victims, but can also be harmed in different ways in the case of aggressors and witnesses. No child can develop properly in an environment where aggression is tolerated.

Toda forma de violencia en las escuelas es una vulneración de varios derechos de la infancia, entre ellos el derecho a la educación y a la protección. Estos derechos resultan especialmente dañados en el caso de las víctimas, pero también pueden verse perjudicados de diferentes formas en el caso de los agresores y los testigos. Ningún niño o niña puede desarrollarse adecuadamente en un entorno donde se toleran las agresiones.

Because of my background in ministry, I work with clients who would like to integrate their religious beliefs and struggles into their psychotherapy.

Peace will come as a profound experience of feeling loved and forgiven and finding meaning in life.

Debido a mi experiencia en el ministerio, trabajo con clientes que desean integrar sus creencias y luchas religiosas en su psicoterapia.

La paz llegará como una experiencia profunda de sentirse amado y perdonado y de encontrarle sentido a la vida.

One therapy I use to treat trauma is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). In EMDR therapy, we process traumatic experiences for healing and growth.
Peace is reached after treating what is causing us to have depressive and anxious symptoms.

Una terapia que utilizo para tratar el trauma es la EMDR (desensibilización y reprocesamiento por movimientos oculares). En la terapia EMDR, procesamos las experiencias traumáticas para sanar y crecer.
La paz se alcanza después de tratar lo que nos está provocando síntomas depresivos y ansiosos.

Many people have the false belief that counseling is only for people who have psychiatric diagnoses. This is not true. Counseling can be helpful to those looking to overcome an obstacle in their lives, or wanting to gain deeper meaning and awareness in their lives.

Muchos tienen la falsa creencia de que la terapia es solo para personas con diagnósticos psiquiátricos. Esto no es cierto. La terapia puede ser útil para quienes buscan superar un obstáculo en sus vidas o desean obtener un significado y desarrollar una conciencia más profunda en sus vidas.
