“Human suffering ceases to be unbearable at the exact moment that it finds someone capable of listening to it without urgency, without judgments and with an absolute presence.”
— Irvin Yalom

Know me
From an early age I began to feel a strong interest in psychology and humanism due to the influence of close family members. At age 17 I came into contact with psychology and meditation with a 50 hour course in Mindfulness with Miriam Medina at Jerez de la Frontera.
At age 18 I began to study Degree of Psychology At the University of Seville, where I obtained the cognitive-behavioral base. During these four years of training, I decided to focus on the clinical and therapeutic side of Psychology. Starting my second year of university studies, I entered to study Traditional Chinese Medicine for 4 years at the Five Elements Centre in Granada.
In my last year of study, at age 21, with the aim of getting to know them in depth experiential techniques and to get close to a practical psychology, I did the first course at Gestalt humanist therapy at JERA's Seville school. That course prompts me to continue with personal therapy.
The following year I did the Master's degree in General Health Psychology at the University of Puerto Real, where I continued to strengthen my cognitive and behavioral approach. At 23 I began Master’s degree in third-wave contextual therapies where I get back to thinking about Oriental-based psychology. That master's degree allowed me to get into the field of modern and scientific psychology, taking as support the acceptance and commitment therapy and his knowledge and psychological thought share of traditions as old as Buddhism.

Attachment, anxiety and relationships
Mauricio Peña Lebrón
Couples often awaken intense emotions. We need to feel loved, understood and secure but we can also experience fear of rejection, insecurity or difficulty trusting. These experiences are often attributed exclusively to attachment, though reality is far more complex.

What is attachment and how does it affect our emotional health?
Mauricio Peña Lebrón
The concept of attachment has been widely popular in recent years. Nevertheless, it's often used in a simplified way to explain any relational difficulties. Understanding what attachment really is helps us better understand our way of feeling, thinking and relating.

Anxiety and emotional regulation: how we learn to calm ourselves
Mauricio Peña Lebrón
Many people come to therapy wondering why they have so much difficulty managing certain emotions. Sometimes anxiety appears without an apparent cause, generating a constant sense of alert or concern. To understand these processes, it's important to know how we have been learning how to regulate ourselves emotionally from childhood.

How does childhood shape the way we relate to others?
Mauricio Peña Lebrón
Sometimes we are surprised to react with an intensity that appears to be inconsistent with what's happening at this time. We feel insecurity, fear of rejection or difficulty trusting others without fully understanding where they come from. The way we interpret the world, our relations and our emotions begins to be built far earlier than we imagine.

Falling in love or becoming obsessed?
Mauricio Peña Lebrón
Love and obsession are two very different concepts that are easily confused and overlap. When we get to know a new person, our expectations and obsessions often arise with the possibility of creating a space where we can receive and express affection.

Anónimo
I have been wanting to start therapy for some time, and I was afraid when I was told to do it, but from the first consultation with Mauri, I felt it was a good move. Mauri is an exceptional psychologist, who is helping me to understand and talk better about myself. Whenever I leave his office I feel more calm and free and I see that I'm progressing.
