Psychosomatic Medicine

Preparation and Contextualization:

• Initial Interview: We start with an initial interview session to understand the client’s health concerns, as well as their medical and emotional history. This session allows us to gather information on the psychological and social factors that may be influencing their physical health.
• Defining the Issue: Together with the client, we define the issue or physical symptoms to be addressed in the treatment. This holistic approach can include chronic problems, recurring pains, sleep disorders, among others.

Assessment and Diagnosis:

• Comprehensive Assessment: A comprehensive assessment that considers both the medical and psychological aspects of the problem. This assessment may include interviews, questionnaires, and medical tests, if necessary.
• Analysis of Psychosocial Factors: We identify and analyze the psychosocial factors that may be contributing to the physical symptoms, such as stress, anxiety, past traumas, and interpersonal relationships.

Therapeutic Interventions:

• Individual Therapy: Personalized sessions to address the emotional and psychological factors affecting the client’s physical health. These sessions may include techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, Gestalt therapy, among others.
• Complementary Therapies: Use of complementary therapies, such as relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness, to reduce stress and improve the mind-body connection.
• Medical Interventions: If necessary, medical interventions and conventional treatments can be integrated to address the physical symptoms more effectively.

Resolution and Closure:

• Reconciliation and Release: Through various interventions, we aim to reconcile internal conflicts and release repressed emotions that may be affecting the client’s physical health.
• Integration of the Experience: Finally, we help the client integrate new perceptions and understandings into their daily life, fostering positive and lasting change.
