Cuentos para aprender a sentir; un recurso terapéutico que ayuda a ser feliz ante las adversidades de la vida

Nowadays there is a constant rain of messages loaded with emotion; through the networks we share precious videos; optimistic phrases sweeten our bitter coffee; Even anything we imagine can contain beautiful words that make us smile. They are shared reflections that arrive alone, and fail to leave a significant mark, or calm the void that has triggered the weakening of certain values. We listen and talk about emotions, without understanding the learning they imply, nor internalize the values they contain. In Psychology we are faced with a great challenge, because the apparent high emotionality that surrounds us is only a mirage. We are consumers of emotions, but we can not internalize them. Emotionally we live with makeup and filters, which embellish us, but they are not an actual emotional reflection of our psyche. Research, from the first contributions of Goleman, shows that about 80% of the adult's capacity to be happy depends on factors associated with the development of Emotional Intelligence in childhood. But there is still much to do, and at this point, Let me tell you in a (Munoz Egea, 2017) try to bet strongly. It is a special book intertwines between his words and drawings the challenge of finding smiles and giving them colors in complex situations. Written assuming the risk of battling against ugly subjects, given that clinical and educational reality shows me that negative emotionality still scares us. It is through real emotional experiences with children that these first stories with therapeutic aims are born, with a lot of magic. It pretends not to limit itself to giving brushstrokes of emotion; and based on the effectiveness of the stories as a therapeutic resource, it transports us to a warm and warm shelter where we find the strength that moves us to go through complex experiences with resilience, understanding that the pain is not really in the concrete experience, but in the form to perceive it and face it. We could argue that happiness is based primarily on this ability to overcome adversities, and that learning to face them from a healthy and hopeful learning perspective is the key. It is not wrong to trust that in positive emotions we will find calm, strength and motivation; and that skills such as goodness are virtues that we must take care of; but we must not forget that only by attending and understanding the negatives can we develop skills capable of strengthening positive ones. As the film Del Revers (2015) points out, happiness will not be strong if we ignore other emotions. And we must understand that each of them brings a strength with a different shade of color. If we learn to discover the beautiful colors that shine in life, we really learn to know how to feel, to be happy. However, facing certain emotions is scary, and therefore each story takes us by the hand to not let go on the road, as the children have taught me how easy it can be to face them simply by trusting in close support. And this is the real trick hidden in Let me in a hug tell you. Know how to transmit a hopeful message through the emotionality that is born in a hug. The magic is to promote emotional closeness as a means to go through a journey that hides many values with which we will know how to load ourselves with real weapons to smile at life. Try to help from deep, moving away from weaving emotional illusions, to braid real emotions, on which to spin skills and skills related to Emotional Intelligence. The objective of this book is to give the threads of that magical layer of courage that I can create in consultation; It will be the diamond force that will always accompany us on the road to happiness.
