Psychoneuroimmunology

This program is unique because offers a complete vision and comprehensive education, both for therapeutic and preventive treatment and personal growth, from an integral and multifactorial vision of the human being. Supported by the latest scientific research, it gives emotion the value it really has in psychological distress and illness and in the functioning of the person in general"

Today we know, thanks to scientific research, that information coming from a stimulus reaches the limbic structures of the brain before it reaches the neocortex. It is precisely these limbic structures that are responsible for functions such as emotional processing, memory creation or learning processes

Moreover, unlike the cerebral cortex, which completes its maturation process around the age of 21, the limbic system is fully functioning from before birth, so we start to know and learn what the world is from subcortical structures within a brain that is mainly emotional. It is for all these reasons that, in the words of psychologist Roberto Aguado: "Emotion decides and reason justifies"

The professional who completes this program will acquire the necessary knowledge to offer their patients a more effective and quality treatment, through numerous techniques that work precisely from the place where the conflict is generated, the emotion. You will also be able to conduct preventive and personal growth therapies, since the program is not only oriented towards the clinical area, but also at being able to help others to grow emotionally and lead a more fulfilling life

For thousands of years, emotion has been a topic of interest to human beings, and we can find references to emotional states in early philosophers, but psychology has long underestimated the importance of emotion in human behavior. For a long time, it has been considered that thought, or the most cognitive part of the brain (the cortex) was the part that determined the behaviors and even the emotional states of the human being”
