La Mente Y Sus Cicatrices - by Pablo de Lorenzo Martínez de Ubago (Paperback)

About the Book

You have in your hands a choral work that makes the psychology that affects us most -- trauma, crises, and how to take care of ourselves when everything is shaking -- easy and accessible. Six experienced voices guide you -- with rigour and warmth -- through such useful topics as: Psychological trauma (simple and complex): understand in simple terms what frightens us but can affect us all. Psychological first aid in extreme events: discover how to provide help after disasters, accidents, or abuse. The mind at war: the dark side of armed conflict and how it distorts our psyche. Drugs as a chemical escape: far from prejudice, a coherent and practical look at addiction and what we can learn from it. You will have references such as Manuel Hernández Pacheco (PARCUVE model, a leader in trauma treatment) and Pepa Horno Goicoechea (author of Aprendiendo a habitarnos), among others, to access solid knowledge that also moves you: it may bring a smile to your face... or perhaps a tear. Based on the podcast by psychologist Pablo de Lorenzo Martínez de Ubago, La mente y sus cicatrices (The Mind and its Scars), this book offers clear tools, real stories and concepts explained without technical jargon to help you understand yourself better and better support others. Start reading and see how knowledge can also heal.

About the Author

Pablo de Lorenzo Martínez de Ubago (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 10 March 1989) is a health psychologist and educator specialising in complex trauma. He began his practice in the general field and, from that foundation, went on to specialise in addressing trauma in its various forms: harassment, abuse, loss, relational trauma and the aftermath of adverse experiences. For almost a decade, he has accompanied healing processes, combining rigour, clarity and an ethic of care aimed at restoring agency to individuals. In January 2023, he founded the podcast La mente y sus cicatrices (The Mind and its Scars), conceived as a sublimation of his desire to speak, disseminate and help, and in dialogue with his own experience of harassment. The programme consists mainly of interviews with psychiatrists and psychologists who provide technical perspective and applicable resources; less frequently, the author presents solo episodes to organise concepts, contextualise evidence and offer practical guidance.
