Las emociones no son ni positivas, ni negativas, son adaptativas a lo que creemos de una situación, y esta “idea” de la situación a veces es inconsciente y surge espontáneamente por conexiones que hace nuestro cerebro con situaciones anteriores o cosas que asumimos porque nos falta información… Entonces una vez que identifiques una emoción que te genere cierta incomodidad, pregúntate que pensamiento puede estar en la base?

Emotions are neither positive nor negative, they are adaptive to what we believe of a situation, and this "idea" of the situation is sometimes unconscious and arises spontaneously by connections that our brain makes with previous situations or things that we assume because we lack information ... So once you identify an emotion that generates some discomfort, ask yourself what thought may be at the base?

Notar y nombrar las emociones es importante para nuestra salud mental. Esto nos da la oportunidad de dar un paso atrás y tomar decisiones sobre qué hacer con ellos. Mire esta tabla e identifique sus emociones actuales o pasadas. Será útil verificar la conexión con las emociones primarias en el centro de la tabla. Compartir lo que estamos sintiendo en términos simples nos ayuda a contener y manejar mejor incluso las emociones más difíciles. Comparta sus preguntas o inquietudes sobre la salud mental y las abordaremos durante todo el mes.

Noticing and naming emotions is important for our mental health. This gives us the chance to take a step back and make choices about what to do with them. Look at this chart and identify your current or past emotions. It will be helpful to check the connection with primary emotions in the center of the chart. Sharing what we're feeling in simple terms helps us to better contain and manage even the most difficult emotions. Share your questions or concerns about mental health and we will address it throughout the month.

Maria Antonia Alfonso

I have 30 years of experience in the field of Mental Health. My work in the public health sector has given me multicultural sensitivity and competence to serve a wide variety of populations, while the private sector has strengthened my experience in individual, couples, and group therapy.

My areas of expertise include: Stress Management, including Post Traumatic Stress and Trauma Resolution, Prevention and Mental Health related to HIV / AIDS / STIs with an emphasis on Psychoimmunology, Communication; Relations of couple, Sexuality; Sexual orientation and gender issues, Substance Abuse, Self-esteem, Acculturation, Loss management and Co-parenting.

Over the years I have worked with individual clients, couples, and parents. I also offer education and training in a wide variety of Psychology topics, in addition to Clinical Supervision and Consultation with professionals. I offer a professional practice focused on the client, with high ethical parameters, excellent listening skills and a respectful and empathetic attitude. I have developed skills for working with people from a wide variety of lifestyles and different habits. The diversity of my theoretical training makes my practice very creative and open to different techniques and approaches.
