For psychiatrist and neuroscience expert Marian Rojas-Estapé, techniques such as contemplation and introspection will allow us to see what is inside and outside ourselves with new eyes, and to connect with the small joys of everyday life. In this video, the renowned psychiatrist and neuroscience expert explains how understanding the functioning of our brain, our emotions and our body helps us to live a more real life: “Our inner voice influences the immune system and when you understand what your mind is going through, you feel relieved; because if you are not a slave to physical and psychological symptoms, you are lost in life.” When Rojas-Estapé began studying medicine, she felt that the emotional plane was always missing in the approach to diseases, being recognized for her humanistic approach in the connection of physical and mental health with emotional somatization. Marian is one of the most influential psychiatrists today for her ability to explain complex concepts in an accessible way, helping many people to know themselves and manage their emotions more consciously. “Understanding that the mind, body and soul are deeply connected is essential when approaching a therapy, but we should not pathologize everything that happens to us. Not everything has to be alleviated with medication and not everything has to be treated by a professional. There are processes that each of us has to live as they happen to us,” she reflects. Marian Rojas-Estapé is a psychiatrist with a degree in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Navarra, and combines her work at the Spanish Institute of Psychiatric Research with her work as a collaborator in universities, cooperation projects, disseminator and author of best-selling works such as 'How to make good things happen to you', 'Find your vitamin person', and 'Recover your mind, reconquer your life'. Her latest work, in which she highlights the urgency of delving deeper into our lives to know how to choose, identify patterns and get away from the hustle and bustle of the world to protect our physical and psychological health. #Let'sLearnTogether2030
