My story
I started writing this diary, to evaluate the changes, growth and healing of my son's marijuana use, which caused him a severe psychotic break and addiction to the drug.
Seeing ourselves unable to help him in his psychotic outbreak, we decided to admit him to a clinic specialized in drug addiction and alcoholism where he was hospitalized for 35 days, and then continued with a 10-month treatment in an extensive care home.
Realizing how much it helped me throughout the recovery process, I decided to publish it, to help other families who are in the same situation as us.
It has been a job that began on November 22, 2015. The cover photo, I took while I was going for a walk to be able to vent my emotions, so it has a lot of meaning for me, the title was suggested by several moms, who together We live with me, we accompany each other in this painful process. And a great friend helped me in the edition of the book.

TERAPIA
DIALÉCTICA
CONDUCTUAL
DBT.
La terapia dialéctica conductual (Dialectical Behavior Therapy – DBT) fue originalmente desarrollada durante los años 80 por Marsha M. Linehan para el tratamiento de pacientes con conductas suicidas, observando que la mayoría cumplía los criterios para el diagnóstico de trastorno límite de personalidad (TLP). La DBT es un buen ejemplo de la evolución de la terapia de conducta e incluye modificaciones específicas para adaptar el tratamiento a la complejidad del trastorno: incorpora estrategias de validación y de aceptación que se complementan con intervenciones orientadas al cambio, tratando de buscar el equilibrio entre ambos tipos de intervención desde la filosofía dialéctica. Respecto al manejo de la psicopatología, la terapia integra la adquisición de nuevas habilidades con aspectos motivacionales y con la aplicación y generalización de éstas al día a día de los pacientes. Con el fin de mantener a los terapeutas dentro del marco de la DBT así como para prevenir el “burnout”, el tratamiento hace énfasis en la cooperación entre terapeutas creando para ello un Equipo de Consulta específico.
Desde su desarrollo, la DBT ha sido adaptada a diferentes rangos de edad, categorías diagnósticas y dispositivos asistenciales, ya que ofrece una aproximación de tratamiento multi-componente, integradora y flexible. Existe evidencia empírica para la eficacia de la DBT en el tratamiento de otros trastornos relacionados con dificultades de regulación emocional así como síntomas específicos como por ejemplo autolesiones, ideación suicida, intentos de suicidio, síntomas de bulimia, depresión, abuso de sustancias (Haynos, Fruzzetti, Anderson, Briggs & Walenta, 2015). La DBT también muestra eficacia en el tratamiento de adolescentes con ideas suicidas (Pistorello, Fruzzetti, MacLane, Gallop & Iverson, 2012).

ENNEAGRAM
The enneagram is the deep self-knowledge from which self-acceptance will be derived and which will serve as the basis for working on personal development. Being aware of the engines that move us to act and of our fears gives us a new vision of ourselves and opens up a world of possibilities in terms of our development.
INTEGRAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Understand the person in a holistic way for their training, integrating each aspect and area through which they develop. It is about developing man and all men within its 6 areas that make it up (3 internal) and in which it develops (3 external), without any distinction.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Human development is one of the most versatile concepts of contemporary Humanistic Psychology. It can be understood from individual and social anthropological perspectives or it can be approached as an object of study of psychology and education. It can be considered an advanced period in the evolution of living beings or an identifiable chain of events in the lives of all men. It can be seen as the set of values promoted by humanistic psychology or as the goal of all educational processes. From a philosophical perspective, what favors the integrated human development of individuals, groups and society can be the criterion of ethics.
