“It is something widespread but which is overcome by a key cognition”

The psychologist began by saying Onega Sonsoles that the root of the problem is that “we live in a society that is terrifying. It’s like a virus, worse than the flu, terribilitis, which is also contagious. We feel that when a certain adversity comes, it’s the end of the world, that we can’t stand it, and we end up”creepy‘ all”. On the set were, among others, Begoña Villacís and Miguel Lago, who nodded at the words of Santandreu, who emphasized how mountains are made of grains of sand, a phrase that gives the title to his most recent book.

As for how to put things into perspective, the key would be to “calibrate the internal dialogue. Review it and downplay what’s not really important. The more you do this, the better, the more freedom you will have to respond creatively and lovingly…” To these words from Rafael Santandreu They followed questions from the public, from the public with whom the program’s reporters spoke in the street. One of the questions that caught his attention the most was from a woman who asked him how he could get his enthusiasm for Christmas when the absence of loved ones, “losses”, is already perceptible. He psychologist He explained that the key lies in “a fundamental cognition, wondering if this person, your mother or father, whoever, could see you through a hole, what would they want?” Well, I’m sure to see you happy, enjoying life, having a good time. He therefore called for overcoming this feeling and seeing things differently.

Another question that was asked concerns those who say “they have everything but, despite that, they feel unhappy.” Here, Santandreu resorts to another of the key concepts in his approach to many current popular conflicts, the feeling of “constantly needing something, invented needs that become a burden if you don’t have it and you make yourself unhappy.” To fight “the need» recommended being clear that having the basics, which are food, water, rest, the rest is incidental.
