Los Beneficios de la Terapia Emocional Enfocada para Parejas y Matrimonios. En este episodio, le hablare de los beneficios de la Terapia Emocional Enfocada (EFT) por sus siglas en Ingles. Los estudios demuestran que las parejas que optan por esta forma de tratamiento mejoran en un 90%, 70-73% producen un cambio de un estado disfuncional a un estado funcional incluso después de haber terminado tratamiento, los resultados también indican que el 60% de parejas mantienen lo que han ganado u obtenido en terapia o simplemente siguen en sus relaciones hacia delante. Entre los puntos más importantes son los siguientes: Accesibilidad y sensibilidad son los cimientos de un lazo seguro emocional.

In this episode, we invited Aviva Rizel, LMFT who speaks to us about the benefits of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in treating and helping couples. EFT was developed primarily by Dr. Susan Johnson back in the 80s. Its primary roots come from experiential, person-centered, systemic and attachment theory. Research outcomes demonstrate that couples that undergo this form of treatment have 90% of significant improvement, 70-73% rate of shifting from distress to recovery, even after treatment has concluded, results show that 60% maintain gains or simply continue to move. Here are some EFT main points: Accessibility and Responsiveness are the building blocks of a secure attachment bond. In trying to connect, distressed couples get caught in negative repetitive sequences of interaction expressing secondary emotions rather than primary emotions. Partners are not sick, they’re stuck in having unmet needs and desires. You want to learn more, listen to this podcast episode, give us your opinion, and shared

In this episode recorded in Spanish only, Mayra and I invited Dr. Michelle Silva, Psy.D., who is the Associate Director of the Connecticut Latino Behavioral Health System and has worked extensively with the Latino population in CT. She enlightened us about the POST SOCIO-EMOTIONAL EFFECTS OF IMMIGRATION here in the USA. To name some: Loss of natural supports: immigrants, leave behind their families in the pursuit of better days. Loss of identity: once arrived, the cultural shock and the questioning of one’s role in the foreign country. Loss of social status: most of the time, a modus vivendi in a country of origin, is sacrificed once arrived in the USA. Uncertainty: starting from zero in a foreign country, and leaving everything behind, creates a lot of uncertainty and when homeostasis is not reached, conditions such as depression and anxiety are among the most common. PTSD: for many immigrants, leaving their country of origin is the only alternative given their circumstances of violence that inclu
