Bioneuroemotion and psychology: what do they have in common and what makes them so different at the same time? Bioneuroemoción® can be a very useful complement for any psychologist.
In this podcast, Enric Corbera talks about the benefits of Bioneuroemoción®. It is a method to enhance emotional health, in addition to other disciplines and perspectives.
Bioneuroemotion and Psychology: main referents
Bioneuroemoción® is a method that is based on concepts from various disciplines. Among others, it also takes into account many concepts and tools from different psychological approaches.
Next, we will expose some of the most influential theories within the framework of psychology and how they are reflected in the philosophy of Bioneuroemotion.
In this conference, Enric Corbera explains 4 steps with which we can manage our difficult situations with more resources from Bioneuroemoción®
Wilheim Wundt’s Bioneuroemotion and Experimental Psychology
(1832-1920) father of experimental psychology in 1879 in Leipzig, he proposed study immediate and observable experience.
He studied the contents of consciousness and basic sensory processes, focusing on the development of . According to Wound, introspection consisted of observing elements of one’s own consciousness under controlled conditions.
Scientific psychology according to Wound
Wundt stated that “Scientific psychology must make the questions opened by quantum physics its own and lose its fear of including among its interests topics of study such as: consciousness, reality, the consciousness-reality relationship, teleology, space-time categories, the super hologram of reality, participant observation…”.
As we can see, since the beginning of modern psychology as we know it, there were already authors who wondered and tried to elucidate the applications of quantum physics in psychology.
To this day, other psychology professionals continue to investigate and promote this approach; serve as an example the article by the psychologist Mª Pilar Grande.
Bioneuroemotion and Developmental Psychology of Lev Vygotsky
A few years later —although his work would not be published until the 1960s— the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky moved away from the that existed until now in relation to the cognitive development of the individual.
Vygotsky began to emphasize the great where the person developed, both the cultural context and the type of personal relationships established.
With this author, a whole new paradigm would begin in terms of the developmental psychology. youIt would also pave the way for new perspectives to emerge, such as the systemic therapy. Is discipline of Humanistic Psychology points out that all human behavior is a product of the environment in which we have structured ourselves.
Therefore, it is an approach that does not treat the individual as a separate entitybut as part of a primary social context: .
Bioneuroemotion and person-centered psychotherapy by Carl Rogers
On the other hand, Carl Rogers and his person-centered psychotherapy is another of the great influences when it comes to making a.
Rogers was among the first to stop considering the person “patient” and call it “client” or simply “consultant”. It is not a simple semantic change. It involves making the person and not a passive subject to external influences. It focuses on the person, not on his problem.
Also “accompanies” it, not “directs” it. This excerpt from his work serves as an example:
«It has been evident from both our clinical experience and our research that when the counselor perceives and accepts the client for who he is, when he lets go of all evaluation and enters the client’s perceptual frame of reference, he frees the client to explore again. his life and his experience frees him to perceive in that experience new meanings and new goals.»
Carl Rogers (1997, p. 55)
As we can see, Rogers talks about the concept of having at the time the communication occurs. When he mentions entering his “perceptual frame of reference” he refers to his way of interpreting reality.
When the person frees himself from it, he can perceive his experiences and his life in another way. That is what we at Bioneuroemoción call «».
Bioneuroemotion and Fritz Perls’ Gestalt therapy
Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt therapy, is one of the authors who emphasized concepts such as ask “why” instead of “why”in order to obtain the intention instead of justification.
Perls considered the as the main driver of change and even the return to the present as the only thing that exists. It is a concept widely developed in other disciplines such as .
Bioneuroemotion and the Humanistic Psychology of Albert Ellis
Albert Ellis is one of the most recognized humanistic psychologists in history. youIt also has a specific weight in the development of the Bioneuroemotion philosophy.
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) is based on a theory that includes concepts such as “The path to the unconscious” waves “irrational beliefs«, very present in the Bioneuroemotion methodology.
Summarized briefly, these two concepts are used to access unconscious processing of a given situation and identify what they prevent us from establishing a framework of coherence with ourselves and our environment.
Bioneuroemotion and psychologist Carl Jung
The work of Carl Gustav Jung is extremely important in Bioneuroemotion. The definition of him and analysis of the collective unconscioushis emphasis on and even his extensive work on the make it one of the banners of the applied philosophy of Bioneuroemotion.
His work teaches us the similarity of the molds o behavioral and relational patterns that lie behind each culture in each historical context.
Jung brought us closer to understanding that we do not have just an individual unconscious, but as a society —that is, as a system. There is also information that influences us enormously and that manifests itself unconsciously.
Other influences on the theoretical foundation of Bioneuroemotion: Paul Eckman and Joseph Campbell
Paul Eckman and his work on , developed by Joseph Campbell and multiple notions of systemic therapy as, for example, the Family therapy by Virginia Satyr. All this and much more is part of the theoretical foundation of the Bioneuroemotion method. The integration of all this is what allows its practical application to be carried out.
Bioneuroemotion and Psychology: how they complement each other
Particularities of a Bioneuroemoción session
Every consists in a single session. If the method is carried out correctly, it should be enough to achieve the proposed objective, which is none other than identify and understand the source of emotional stress It influences all aspects of a person’s life.
This supposes a significant difference with respect to a psychological therapy, in elements such as periodicity, follow-up, evaluation or diagnosis. No tracking subsequent standardized and systematic as in a psychological consultation.
No diagnoses or evaluations are established. youAttention is paid only to the person and the symptoms they show —beyond their label—, focusing on what it implies, since when it happens and .
Bioneuroemotion: research and development
To arrive at the method that we have today, it took years of .
Even today progress continues, always with the purpose of integrating all the knowledge that is valid to make Bioneuroemotion an even more complete and effective tool.
Bioneuroemotion: a complement to psychological therapy
We can conclude that Bioneuroemoción® is not a therapy in psychology, but a complement to it with the potential to optimize the results of therapeutic processes psychological.
Both from the point of view of a psychologist who has it integrated when carrying out the exercise of his profession, and that of a consultant who, combining both approaches and incorporatingcan get a more global and complete vision of your situation.
The® is a way of life. It helps to see more clearly the reflection of ourselves in others. That’s why it’s applicable in any professional and personal field. For this same reason, it does not close its doors to all that knowledge that could result in a and an openness to change.
Psychology and Bioneuroemotion are perfectly complementary.
