Anxiety is a process that develops gradually and eventually stops us from listening to the body again.
In depression the emotional system goes into a state of "shut down" where it loses the strength and energy to go out.
Trauma settles in the body, in the subcortical world, dysregulating the Autonomic Nervous System which needs assimilation.
Mourning occurs as a consequence of a significant loss, which needs to be integrated into the new reality.
This is the first time I have been to a Psychological Consultation and I must say that from the very first moment Dácil has given me total confidence and involvement which has made it much easier for me to explain my problem. Dácil listened to me and knew how to get things out of me that were important to start my improvement.
In a very simple and pleasant way, but also very effective and professional, Dácil helped me to learn to listen to what I feel and to take myself into account. This meant an end to a lot of day-to-day emotional suffering. I am very grateful to her.
I have been treating with Dácil for 6 months now and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only is it helping me deal with my anxiety, it is also being instrumental in my process of really connecting with myself. Dácil is empathetic and understanding but also makes you think and look for your own conclusions.
Dácil helped me to overcome a depression I had. It helped me to believe in myself, to get rid of my fears and fears (fear of failure).
During the 7 months of therapy I felt very comfortable with her. I will always be grateful to her.
I put myself in Dácil's hands a few months ago, full of anxiety and anguish. Today I could not be more grateful for the obvious changes I have made thanks to your help. The therapy is full of confidence and reassurance that I am in good hands and that everything I say will be treated with care and respect. Every day the work on myself is deeper and more meaningful.
I highly recommend her work.
To start a therapeutic process people often need to feel that there is something they want to change and that they cannot do it alone. However, the therapeutic space can be an accompaniment for different life situations, from decision making to an overwhelming emotional problem. Ideally, we should not wait until emotional distress begins to affect daily life, but this is often our best indicator that it is time for psychotherapy.
The therapy sessions are composed of a deep listening dialogue where I attend to the story the person is telling while listening-observing the story their body is telling. That both are in tune with each other is key to the therapeutic process.
This is a difficult question to answer because every problem is different for each person, each person’s experience is unique and within specific circumstances. The important thing would be to feel that we are moving towards a sense of greater stability, regulation and emotional calm.
The ideal frequency is usually once a week, so that by the end of the month we have seen each other for at least 4 hours. However, this frequency can be relative and will also depend on the individual, not everyone needs or can sustain the same pace. We assess this together and tailor the suit to each person’s needs so that the therapy is a space that builds and does not suffocate.
We could say that therapy is a “simmering”, it is a work that requires time and care. If this is present, feelings of reassurance and relief begin to appear along with micro-changes in daily life that speak of something new happening and, therefore, that the treatment is working.
In online sessions the bioenergetics of people is obviously not present, but without a doubt, and as different studies have already shown, when there is connection and deep listening during sessions, whether online or in person, the same regions of the brain that facilitate healing are activated. Therefore, it is not so much the medium that is important as the psychotherapist’s ability to connect.
When life changes are sufficiently stable and emotional regulation is maintained, people spontaneously begin to feel that the end of therapy has come. My role is also to accompany this process of closure and farewell.
Psychotherapy offers a safe environment that facilitates a relationship with oneself and with another, in a place of calm and respect. This allows people to experience a new relational possibility that they begin to seek and incorporate into their lives, generating, beyond therapy, healthy bonds where they can support each other and eventually dispense with the therapist. However, the connection, the feelings of freedom and security to be who I am, that are generated during psychotherapy sessions are often exceptional and therefore of great value. So you may want to repeat it when you have a life challenge again.
Sessions can be paid for in cash, by bizum or bank transfer.
