Mindfulness in Les Corts: the proposal of BarnaPsico

This Barcelona psychology center uses Mindfulness in all its applications.

Mindfulness, also known as Mindfulness, is one of the most versatile tools in the field of therapeutic intervention. As its main objective is the way in which we manage our attentional focus, it influences many other psychological processes of vital importance in everyday life.

In this article we will see what are the characteristics of Mindfulness and how we work with it in the psychology center BarnaPsico, whose team has experts in Mindfulness in Les Corts (Barcelona)..

How to work with Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a set of practices and activities of individual or group use that is inspired by Vipassana meditation.The practice of mindfulness is a millenary tradition of certain cultures of the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas.

Mindfulness takes the elements of meditation that have to do with the management of attention and states of consciousness, and puts them at the service of concrete and practical purposes for everyone, detaching this practice from its religious implications.

Thus, it can be said that Mindfulness is designed to be able to generate concrete benefits that can be studied scientifically, rather than being linked to the moral and symbolic systems of religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism. These benefits are linked to the management of anxiety and the regulation of emotions.It can therefore be used in challenging situations or situations that have generated discomfort or discomfort.

BarnaPsico: Mindfulness in Les Corts to stay in the present

The BarnaPsico psychology center team uses Mindfulness both in the context of psychotherapy with patients and in courses. Let's see how it works in each of these areas.

Mindfulness in psychological therapy

Mindfulness is useful for various types of problems that are the reason for consultation by patients. Among these forms of psychological discomfort, anxiety disorders and stress stand out.

Thus, BarnaPsico's psychologists use Mindfulness practices to help patients to manage their anxiety disorders and stress. practices to help patients manage their attentional processes.. The aim is that the person's consciousness is focused on the here and now, perceiving all the sensations as they occur, and without linking them to concerns from the past, obsessions oriented to the future, and prejudices that would lead us to reject elements of the present.

Thus, through Mindfulness you learn to see the present moment from an accepting perspective and stress is dwarfed by the idea that it is only a reaction to certain stimuli, something that does not have to take control of our body.

As stress and anxiety play an important role in many of the most common mental disorders and psychological dysfunctions, using it in therapy is very useful, because it allows us to manage much of the discomfort we feel. Being in the present moment, perceiving everything from a mentality free of value judgments, allows us to give a relative value to what previously kept us away from happiness.

On the other hand, the therapeutic principles of Mindfulness can also be applied beyond psychology offices. For example, Mindfulness is useful in the organizational and corporate contextenvironments where stress is common. It can also be used in educational contexts such as schools and institutes, to help young people to manage their emotions and their response to stressful situations or those in which there is a lot of uncertainty.

...and in courses

Another of the areas in which BarnaPsico applies Mindfulness is in Mindfulness courses held at its psychology center in Les Corts (Carrer del Montnegre)..

One of these training proposals is the Mindfulness Initiation Course, which lasts 6 hours divided into several sessions of an hour and a half.
