MULTILINGUAL MENTAL HEALTH CENTER
MADRID   BARCELONA   VALENCIA   SEVILLE     ONLINE

There are days when the world just feels heavier. The recent train derailment on the Madrid–Sevilla line, the second tragic accident of its kind this year, has claimed 69 lives, shattered countless families, and left an entire nation holding its breath.

However, how much information do we as women actually have before receiving a diagnosis? Are we truly engaging in prevention and early detection? Is the diagnosis communicated to us in an empowering, empa

In psychology, we often talk about grief. We talk about the loss of loved ones, about breakups, about relationships that end. What we talk about much less are other kinds of grief: identity loss, the loss of a pet, or perinatal grief.
