“Women believe that they 'misbehave' on purpose. They say that they
are selfish, that they are not interested in the links and that they are the
ones who have to put everything of themselves, for the relationship to
work and then, they lose themselves in the link. They get exhausted,
frustrated and do not feel that there is a 'validation' of that 'effort' ",
affirm the therapists Viviana Puebla and Diana Loi of the Center to Know
and Be Happy (www.conoceryserfeliz.com). difficult, complicated and
meaningless. Is it worth loving like this? Definitely not. But so that it does
not happen, these relationship specialists invite you to know the
Emotional Intelligence in the Couple, which is defined as learning to
respect the natures of each sex. The goal is to leave behind the anxieties,
anguish, anger and impasse that abound when a man and a woman
decide to make the commitment to be together.
"It is a bridge of understanding that will lead us to a more pleasant,
harmonious and loving relationship, where each one can express their
strengths, potentials and differences without unnecessary fear or
prejudice", they affirm. The basis of this concept is that men and women
perceive and operate in reality in a different and even opposite way,
which leads to many misinterpretations and conflicts in couple
communication. However, in order to achieve a dynamic balance in the
relationship, they declare that it is essential to previously learn to focus
on one and build and deepen the inner world. "This means that on a day-
to-day basis we have to make a conscious and disciplined effort to
maintain focus on ourselves, our lives, our dreams, aspirations,
significant others and personal evolution," says psychologist Diana Loi.
4. Introduction
To answer this question effectively, we must first be aware that psychological
problems, or at least a large percentage of them, come to a greater or lesser
extent caused or influenced by the people around the person who suffers.
If you think about the great problems, disappointments, scares and sadness that
you have had in your life, you will immediately realize that there were almost
always other people who caused or promoted that suffering.
But be careful, before falling into absolute pessimism about human evil (or
negligence), if you ask yourself the opposite question (great moments of
happiness, well-being, joy, etc.), you will see that in these, too, there used to be
other people participating.
Thus, we can conclude that human beings have a very high power over the people
around us , whether for better or for worse.
Now, we can influence and help, but to what extent?
Does my partner have depression?
Depression can sometimes be confused with other problems and conditions (and
vice versa). The diagnosis of "depression" must be given , always, without
exception and ultimately, under a mental health professional such as a properly
qualified psychologist or psychiatrist.
However, it is good that we have certain information to be able to suspect
depression in a partner, since one of the characteristics of people with depression
is that they take longer to ask for help compared to other problems, such as
anxiety disorders.
The integral therapist, Viviana Puebla tells that millions of years ago to survive as
a species, men and women specialized in different functions that were recorded
in the nervous system and the formation of neural steps, hormonal balance,
perception of the environment, behavior and ability to make sense of reality.
5. "Our nervous system is made up of three 'brains', each one specialized in
functions that have helped us meet the requirements of survival, connection with
another and the development of character and personal values," she says.
These brains, which are the Reptilian, Paleo mammal and Neocortex, would
function independently, and throughout life, according to the models received
and the experience lived.
So, in order to understand the differences between masculinity and femininity,
and what makes them opposites, it is important to know these concepts.
For example, the most basic instincts and impulses that have no logic are housed
in the Reptilian Brain. The Paleo mammal Brain is responsible for managing
emotions and reactions to people who matter and to the environment, and the
Neocortex is responsible for logic, creativity, the ability to make decisions, set
limits, and ethics. , identity and interaction with others through civility and
diplomacy.
Each of them in men and women would have developed differently, thus
processing reality according to their own gender individuality.
"Evolutionarily, women are trained to understand bonding processes, since our
survival has depended on it, this is deeply ingrained in our biology and makes us
experts in the field of body language, such as, for example, the distinction of the
tonalities of voice to interpret intentions and emotions ”, says Viviana Puebla.
In any case, she assures that men do want to relate, want to commit and form
loving bonds that last for life. But she, she emphasizes, the processes through
which he goes through the different stages of the relationship are very different
from those of the woman.
"In this sense, it is essential to take into account that men need to be invited to
the world of ties and relationships in a friendly way, since their expertise lies in
the world of work, skills and hierarchies," she maintains.
