Often the terms “emotional therapist” and “Bioneuroemotion companion” are confused, probably because both figures share an interest in bringing people closer to the emotional well-being. However, its scope of application and its forms of intervention are different.
For example, a companion in Bioneuroemoción, unlike a psychotherapist or emotional therapist, does not make a diagnosis of the person and, as a result, does not provide specific treatment either.
This is because, while the psychotherapist aims at the complete remission of a specific psychosomatic imbalance, the Bioneuroemoción companion provides a whole series of tools so that it is the person himself who, autonomously, responsibly and independently, achieves increase their well-being and quality of life.
This difference is reflected, in turn, in the number and frequency of sessions carried out, with the Bioneuroemotion methodology being of shorter duration.
On the other hand, unlike a psychotherapist (emotional therapist), who has specialized training within the clinical or health area, a companion in Bioneuroemoción has the option of having or not previous training within medicine, mainly because they apply a method specifically designed to contribute to the Personal development and professional of people who do not present any psychopathology, thus functioning as a useful complementary tool for a large number of profiles and professions oriented to human well-being.
Regarding the area of intervention, Bioneuroemotion is applicable to most adults, except in cases where they suffer from mental disorders or illnesses and/or the person is under the influence of any treatment or substance that alters the state of consciousness. .
This is because the reflection and, necessary to identify and understand the new information and achieve the , are fundamental pieces within the inquiry process.
What is and what does a companion do in Bioneuroemoción®?
A is a facilitator of , through which he explores an emotional conflict with the client, identifying its origin and the way in which it affects various aspects of his life. Its objective is that the person who is facing an apparently insoluble difficulty becomes aware of some factors that until then remained unconscious, but that contribute both to the appearance and to the maintenance of the conflict: we are referring to , family loyalties, irrational behaviors and projections, among many other factors. Through this process, the person can see something that they did not see before, change their way of seeing things, give a new meaning to what happens to them and, ultimately, manage the conflictive situation in a more balanced and healthy way. .
The work of a companion in Bioneuroemoción focuses on relationships, since quality bonds are the basis of our well-being and, therefore, it is also in the interaction with others where our conflicts are manifested. Interpersonal relationships are the basis of development in the human being, from the moment we are born and we meet , to the family, schoolmates or those at work later on.
Any phase of our life is marked by interaction with our environment and our emotional stability, even our health, depends on it. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist and professor at Harvard Medical School, has carried out a study of more than 75 years of duration, during which the lives of 724 men were tracked, year after year, asking them about their work, their personal life and your health. The clearest message from these years of study was the following: “Good relationships make us happier and healthier.”
For example, imagine that a person is in conflict because at work he feels that he has to take care of tasks that do not correspond to him. She perceives that others are not responsible and that they take advantage of her. In this situation, one can ask: How am I contributing to this situation? At what point have I integrated this behavior as part of my identity? That is, in what context have I learned to act in this way? Furthermore, applying the projectionthe following could be questioned: What do other people do that I would like to do and do not allow myself?
In this example, the person may realize that it is difficult for them to delegate, they think that others will not do it as well as they do. In addition, she will become aware that, when she was a child, she had to assume responsibilities that did not correspond to her. And finally, the learning would be in understanding that what others do, setting limits on their workload, for example, is something that is not allowed and that, from now on, they can start doing.
All this will lead you to transform how you feel in relation to others, since you will no longer be judging them, and to act in different ways. In short, you will be transforming your life.
Understanding the importance of our relationships, it is essential to start doing the exercise of wanting to understand the implicit learning in the interpersonal conflicts that we experience and Bioneuroemotion provides the tools that allow us to see difficulties from a different point of view, to find creative solutions, different from those applied up to that moment, which will lead us to different results.
Thus, the that allows us to take action in new directions and recover the innate ability to enhance our physical, mental and emotional well-being.
The research work, therefore, always starts from the conflicts that we experience with others and is aimed at understanding and knowing ourselves in depth through our relationships, in order to choose new ways of being and relating, thus influencing emotional well-being. and improving our relationship with ourselves, with others and, ultimately, with our life experience.
Thus, when a difficult situation appears, Bioneuroemotion understands that it is a perfect opportunity to investigate and realize what is preventing us from seeing that circumstance as an opportunity for growth and .
Knowing the factors involved in a conflict situation is what allows us to manage them and do something about it. So, this “realization”, this process of expanding consciousness that emotional freedom provides us, involves identifying which are the elements that are influencing a situation that we do not know how to see or perceive, because we interpret the situation in a specific way. , determined by our , our learning and previous experiences.
This biased interpretation of the situation, of others, of ourselves, and of the world, is a multi-layered barrier that prevents us from seeing beyond, discovering who we are, and living in an authentic and coherent way. Bioneuroemotion helps us remove those “onion layers” that are preventing us from accessing our interior and living the life we want, expanding our awareness and enhancing our well-being.
Bioneuroemotion gives us the ability to take charge of our lives responsibly, offering us the freedom to choose who we want to be in the face of our circumstances and how we want to live, increasing our emotional well-being and our inner peace. Freedom, as Albert Camus expressed, is nothing more than one.
What can Bioneuroemoción® contribute to an emotional therapist?
One of the advantages of Bioneuroemoción® is that it allows obtaining concrete and relevant information in a short period of time, which is very useful both in self-application and in accompanying a client. Thanks to the fact that it is a specific method, it allows obtaining results from the first session and significantly reduces the number of sessions required to investigate the same emotional conflict.
Another advantage that it offers is the possibility of obtaining favorable results without the need for the accompanied person to know in detail their background or family information of origin, since Bioneuroemoción® uses different strategies to identify and integrate the unconscious information that manifests through through non-verbal language, micro-expressions and the analysis of the client’s discourse during the investigation of their personal experiences.
Bioneuroemoción® in its interdisciplinary vision provides an effective tool and complementary knowledge both individually and professionally for anyone who wants to enhance their development within different environments and help other people to increase their self-knowledge and .
