What is bioneuroemotion and what is it for?

As he maintains Enric Corberá, director of the Spanish Institute of Bioneuroemotion: “bioneuroemotion studies the biological meaning of the symptoms that manifest in our body, understanding that in nature everything is information and, in some way, This information is established through learning in our unconscious”.

Bioneuroemotion investigates the most optimal way to enter the unconscious to modify learning, managing emotions. It is what Enric Corberá calls the “Art of Unlearning”.

“We get sick unconsciously, we become aware

and we heal unconsciously.”

-Enric Corberá-

Behind every emotion there is usually a belief in something, which forces us to act in a certain way and We must transcend that belief to heal our lives.

One of the bases of neurobioemotion is search for irrational thoughts to heal the emotions that these thoughts produce in us. This is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), created by Albert Ellis.

Ellis assumes that the emotional state is caused by our interpretation of events and not by the events themselves. Therefore, If we are able to modify our irrational beliefs and thoughts, we will be able to create a less painful and more rational emotional state.

Specifically Albert Ellis, works with 11 irrational beliefs Which are the following:

I need to be loved and approved by important people.I must achieve success and not make mistakes.The People who do not behave correctly should be blamed and punished.Things should be the way I think they should be. If not, it is a catastrophe.Human unhappiness is caused by the external. I don’t control it, so I can’t manage sorrows and worries.I must worry and control everything dangerous or threatening around.I can be happier avoiding than facing difficulties and the responsibilities of life.We need to trust and depend on someone stronger than us.My past is the reason why I am where I am today; It continues to influence my current feelings and behaviors.I should worry about others when they have problems and I must be sad when they are sad.Every problem must have an ideal solutionit being a catastrophe not to achieve it.

All these beliefs immerse us in the tyranny of “I have to…” and “I should…”, which denote that we do things out of obligation and without wanting to do themwhich produces negative emotions in us.

Objectives of Bioneuroemotion

Its main objective is understand and influence emotional health. Additionally, it seeks to facilitate the achievement of people’s well-being and health; promote a holistic view of life; and connect the mind with the body and the environment.

For its part, It intends to integrate with the different social and health sciences to achieve a holistic approach to physical and emotional problems.

How does bioneuroemotion work?

Bioneuroemotion uses three techniques to find the learned information and, if possible, change it, that is, it searches for information in three brain files:

–Chronological age. A person’s conflicts throughout their life are analyzed until the triggering situation is found.

–The project/sense. This is the period that covers a person’s life from nine months before conception to three years. In that period of time, the conflicts experienced by the parents are analyzed.

-The family tree. The dates of birth, death, illnesses, and professions of our relatives are studied to look for similarities and understand where and who the triggering situation comes from.

Once the aforementioned techniques have been used, The connection between the emotion we feel and the illness we have will come to light.

By discovering the emotion-disease connection we will go into a state of quarantine in which our mind will fight not to unlearn and we will reflect to unlearn. Once the belief and the emotion it produces are unlearned, our illness no longer has a cause and it usually disappears.

How do we reach our unconscious?

To reach the emotion that an illness produces in us, it is necessary dig into our minds asking us a series of questions:

Where? How? Who? When? With these questions we establish the moment in which the emotion that is affecting us is created. What do you tell yourself internally at that moment? What do you feel when you think that? What emotion do you experience? In what part of your body do you experience it? What have you not said in that situation?

With all those questions, We will find out the link between emotion and illness and in this way we will be able to unlearn and heal our body.

What does unlearning consist of?

Unlearning is forget what was learned. It is necessary to empty our minds of the things we have learned in order to let new things in and learn.

Unlearn is to eliminate the links between some of our emotions and our illnesswhich are harming us physically and blocking our healing.

“Beliefs have the power to create and destroy. Human beings have an impotent ability to take any experience in our lives and create meaning that disables us or that can literally save our lives.”

-Tony Robbins-

Principles of Bioneuroemotion

Bioneuroemotion is based on the philosophical principle that life is shown to us in an apparent separation, despite the fact that In reality everything is united and interconnected, everything complements each other. We think that we make decisions freely, when in reality we react based on information that resides in our unconscious and that is expressed in all aspects of our life.

In this way, Bioneuroemotion takes a step towards emotional maturity, since helps us understand that at all times we have in our hands the decision about how to experience what happens in our lives. It is an awakening to the responsibility that each and every one of us has regarding what happens to us on a daily basis.

Entering this method means experiencing a sense of reality in which changes arise from an open mind, knowing that The solution to the problems is available and in the present.

Criticisms of Bioneuroemotion

Nevertheless, There are also a series of criticisms of bioneuroemotion as a theoretical and therapeutic proposal. Perhaps the most important comes from the field of psychology and, particularly, from fields such as psycho-oncology. For these professionals, the greatest danger of bioneuroemotion is blaming the patient. That is, they consider it counterproductive for a person diagnosed with a terminal illness to have the psychological weight of believing that their past emotional problems were the cause of their current condition.

Likewise, this also applies and becomes more complex when the patients are children or minors. ANDIn this case, it is the parents who tend to blame themselves for their children’s illness, which is extremely counterproductive both for the mental health of the parents and for their role as caregivers.
