NEUROEMBODYMENT APPLIED TO MENTAL HEALTH

For the first time and experimentally, a complete Neuroembodyment program was developed for six weeks, with Mental Health patients in Cartagena. The results have been very promising, significantly reducing the levels of stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms observed through the Questionnaire of Porges and Stress.

The patients belong to the area of Dual Pathology of the Regional Mental Health Center, that is, they are patients with problems of stress, anxiety, depression and various addictions such as gambling, alcohol, cocaine, hashish.

Previously Neuroembodyment had only been applied to non-pathological population in various workshops.

The versatility of the Neuroembodyment methodology allows adaptation to diverse populations with or without associated pathologies.
