Queridas Heridas / Dear Wounds - by Silvia Marcos (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Dicen que nos pasamos toda nuestra vida jugando en el patio de la infancia y eso determina la forma de ser de una manera definitiva. En tu cuerpo habita esa niña interior que va marcando el camino a cada paso. ¿Eres insegura o miedosa? Quizá tuviste una madre o un padre controladores. ¿Tiendes a encontrar parejas emocionalmente no disponibles? Quizá ya te han querido así antes. ¿Te falta autoestima? Quizá tuviste una madre criticona. ¿Sientes que no eres suficiente? Puede que no supieran expresarte bien tu valor.

La neuropsicóloga experta en EMDR Silvia Marcos nos ayuda en Queridas heridas a comprender mejor nuestros procesos y emociones. Nos hace conscientes de que nuestras experiencias nos convierten en seres únicos y de que merecemos aceptarnos tal y como somos. En las páginas de este libro encontrarás un montón de historias de dolor y sanación, y también recursos para que puedas cuidar tu propia historia, aprender a mirarte con curiosidad, sin reproches, tratar de entenderte y empezar a mimarte desde este lugar. No podemos retroceder en el tiempo, pero sí podemos mirar de frente a la herida que habita en nosotros y cuidarla como necesita.

«Estar bien no es estar feliz. Es tratarte con mimo, sin importar cómo te encuentres, todo el tiempo que necesites, sin prisa. Aprender que llevas esa herida que aún duele y salir de paseo teniendo en cuenta que te habita. Preparar y adaptar la caminata para esa herida. Cuidar de tu tristeza, dejar que tu enfado exista y salga, permitirte fallar y equivocarte, acariciar tu asco, pasear tu vergüenza, recoger los pensamientos obsesivos en los que te atascas, entender por qué gritas y por qué a veces eres hostil, abrazar tus miedos...

Puede que este libro mueva tus entrañas, revuelva lo más interno de tu ser. Quiero que veas estas páginas como unas manos que sostienen las tuyas y que van a estar aquí sin importar lo que se mueva».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A book to understand pain that does not bleed, to heal when family hurts. Neuropsychologist Silvia Marcos, a specialist in trauma and the EMDR model, explains how to understand, care for, and learn to love our emotional scars.

They say that we spend our whole lives playing in the playground of childhood and that this definitively determines our personality. That inner child lives in your body and guides your every step. Are you insecure or fearful? Perhaps you had a controlling mother or father. Do you tend to find emotionally unavailable partners? Perhaps you have been loved that way before. Do you lack self-esteem? Perhaps you had a critical mother. Do you feel that you are not good enough? Maybe they didn't know how to express your value to you properly.

In Dear Wounds, EMDR expert neuropsychologist Silvia Marcos helps us to better understand our processes and emotions. She makes us aware that our experiences make us unique beings and that we deserve to accept ourselves as we are. In the pages of this book, you will find many stories of pain and healing, as well as resources to help you take care of your own story, learn to look at yourself with curiosity, without reproach, try to understand yourself, and start to pamper yourself from this place. We cannot go back in time, but we can face the wound that lives within us and care for it as it needs.

"Being well is not the same as being happy. It means treating yourself with care, no matter how you feel, for as long as you need, no rush. Learning that you carry that wound that still hurts and going for a walk while keeping in mind that it lives within you. Preparing and adapting the walk for that wound. Taking care of your sadness, letting your anger exist and come out, allowing yourself to fail and make mistakes, caress your disgust, walk your shame, pick up the obsessive thoughts you get stuck in, understand why you scream and why you are sometimes hostile, embrace your fears...

This book may shake your guts, stir the innermost part of your being. I want you to see these pages as hands holding yours, hands that will be here no matter what."
