En muchas ocasiones tenemos una tendencia a ponernos en modo de piloto automático, dejándonos llevar por nuestras preocupaciones sobre el pasado o el futuro, sin ser conscientes de lo que estamos haciendo en el presente. Así, pasamos horas y horas de nuestro día haciendo cosas sin prestar atención a ellas. A muchos de nosotros nos habrá pasado cosas parecidas como cuando estamos leyendo un libro y después de un rato nos damos cuenta de que no nos hemos enterado del contenido de la lectura, o cuando, en la hora de la comida, no nos damos cuenta de lo que estamos comiendo, dejándonos llevar por nuestros pensamientos. Para entrenar nuestra capacidad de vivir en el presente les presentamos nuestro programa de Mindfulness.

MINDFULNESS es prestar atención al momento presente a propósito, desde una actitud amable, compasiva, curiosa y sin juzgar. Nos ayuda a fomentar esa capacidad de vivir en el momento presente, tomar conciencia de nuestros pensamientos y emociones, observarlas sin juzgar con la aceptación y amabilidad.

Así en Sinews hemos querido lanzar este programa de Mindfulness (Conciencia Plena) en directo para que puedan conocer de cerca este estado y experimentar los beneficios de la práctica de Mindfulness.

The group follows a planned 10 session schedule in which we will look at different elements of trauma and the process of recovery. We will not discuss the specific stories of each member but focus instead on how we are doing in the present moment and the different elements that are important to focus on while we are recovering from a traumatic experience.

The road to recovery from an experience of sexual trauma is a long one in which different emotions and patterns appear. The feeling of isolation is usually a common denominator while we are in the midst of it. Through joining the group you’ll see that you´re not alone and a deeper understanding and compassion towards yourself and the process you´re in will be gained.

When you feel like you’re not moving past the culture shock phase, especially after being in Spain for a couple of months, it may be time for counseling. If you’re experiencing the symptoms mentioned above, and utilizing the resources available to you isn’t working, counseling can be very effective. It can help turn an experience that feels overwhelming, and never-ending, into an opportunity for growth.

Andrea Moreno accumulates years of experience in the individual treatment of people who have suffered sexual trauma and directs a victim support group from years ago at SINEWS.

These exercises created from ACT therapy and dialective behavioral therapy have shown their effectiveness in improving social skills, emotional regulation and prevention of problems related to mental health as well as improving well-being in adolescents.

Sessions are semi structured, this means there will be a part of each session devoted to the formal presentation of a skill or set of skills and another devoted to collaboration, in which we can create a non judgemental environment in which we can express ourselves and help other from our experiences.

Core mindfulness: The first of the four primary modules of DBT, this concept involves learning to observe one’s emotions, describe those emotions, and fully participate in present experiences.

Interpersonal effectiveness: The second core component of DBT is focused on assertiveness skills and strategies to ask for what we need, set boundaries and say no when appropriate, and deal more effectively with interpersonal conflict.

Distress tolerance: The third module entails the group developing non-judgmental acceptance of us as well as our current situation. The focus is on learning to accept the present reality and to tolerate crises, and making use of strategies such as distraction, self-soothing, improving the moment.

Emotion regulation: The final module of DBT consists of three main goals: to understand one’s emotions, reduce emotional vulnerability, and decrease emotional suffering. With this in mind, some of the specific skills taught in DBT include identifying and labelling emotions as well as evaluating: events that prompt the emotion, interpretations that trigger the emotion, how the emotion is experienced, how the emotion is expressed behaviourally, and the aftereffects of the emotion.
