Living and forgiving

I think the main task of the psychologist is to make the patient live his emotions, not that avoid or suppress, the psychologist must understand that when a person suffers huge pain ,it is best to live their emotions, whether anger or grief. If the patient arrives at our office saying that someone you loved betrayed him or did something wrong, is normal to feel much pain, anger and resentment, maybe feel it is unfair that something like this is happening.

But after the patient has spent time in therapy and decreased his negative emotions is important to consider the possibility of forgiving the person who betrayed his and recover the friendship or relationship. Sometimes people make mistakes and deserve to be forgiven, if the relationship is strong conflict be overcome. Although there are limits and can not be forgiven all because you lose your self-love.

Human relationships are very complex, there are ups and downs. In the case of couples is more difficult still, today has become very common infidelity and even some people do not see it as something bad. Personally I think it's hard to forgive an infidelity because there is a risk that this will continue happening. If there is still love in the couple relationship may continue without problems, the important thing is that both people feel good and that there trust

The aim of the psychologist is the person to live a process as you can live your pain, whatever it is. Without affecting mostly the rest of his life that after a while you can solve your problem.

Copito =)

I have a dog, his name is “Copito”, I remember before he came to mi house I didn´t like dogs. In summer my brothers said to my mother “¡buy us a dog!” and they put a picture of a very tender dog at the door of her bedroom, I told my mom that I disagreed because if she bought it we would have to take care of everything related to the dog. After this I traveled to north of chile and one day my mother called me and said we buy a dog poodle mix Maltese with a man who contacted the internet, really at that moment I laughed.
When I got to my house a small dog ran to the door to welcome me, in this moment I felt it would not be so terrible to have a dog at home. I thing is it not neccesary have a pet but my life and daily routine changed a little with “Copito”, he is too cute he is a good company when I watch TV and sleep nap. I also noticed something that I did not think before when someone told me so: dogs are very intelligent and they are aware of many things, in my case “Copito” knows when I'm going or when I'm happy, sad or angry with him because he did something wrong.
I feel sad about the pets that were abandoned in Chaiten but I thing there are many good people in this country who want to save them from neglect.

What to do and where to go in Santiago

If a foreigner friend of mine came I would take her to city center because I think is a important place of Santiago and this she would allow know part of history of this city, take her specifically to Plaza de armas, Government palace, San Francisco church, Municipal teather and to National library. Also seize the oportunity to we were to the Santa Lucía hill and to the craft fair which is located in front to the hill.

I would also take her to Bellavista neighborhood, in this place can do many things during the day and night. In the morning we could go shopping to Patronato where can you get very cheap clothes , after we could lunch a sandwich and drink a beer in a restaurant to continue the evening in San Cristobal hill and we could see the animals of zoo, we could got on the cablecar and walk to the virgin. At night we could go see a play to any room and finish the night in some bar.

I would tell her to went to Cajon del Maipo in the weekend to camping, this is a beautiful place, with many vegetation where you can walk through the hills, swim in the river and do a picnic.

Another fun place to which my friend could come on Sunday is the Forest Park, here is the Bellas Artes museum that exhibits very good exhibitions, it is also possible to see jugglers and artisans. There is a Cafes where you can drink coffee or ice cream depending on the time of the year.

Transantiago

Personally I think my Transantiago benefited me, before the new transport system released I remember it to go to prep school had to walk 10 blocks to take the bus, it passed every 20 minutes, Because of this I arrived late several times. Today I walk only three streets, the bus not take much time and always I travel seated. In the Lions street I transfer quickly and I arrive in the university
But yellow buses were better tan Transantiago because it had many more runs and the people only have to take one bus to reach its destination. But also those buses were very dirty and polluted. People were really unsake to be inside a yellow bus. The thefts were a thing of every day. The drivers stopped where they wanted and sometimes didn´t stop. The yellow buses were not delayed, but the service was bad.
Now the buses are more big and with more space tan yellow buses. Also are very few seats and misplaced. The good thing is that these buses stop at where they have to stop and the drivers have to stop the bus first and then we can get off, not like the yellow buses
Some changes that I would make are the buses have more seats, and I would put more runs

I like romantic music to listen, my favourite singer is Ricardo Arjona, I began to listen with my class mates when I was 13 years old, I went to the first concert with my friend Cecilia and my aunt at the National stadium, also went to saw him to Viña festival in the summer of 2006 and the last time he stayed in Chile in 2007 I went to Arena Santiago with my mother and three friends. In November he will do a three concerts in Arena Santiago, my mother and I bought tickets one month ago, to will go this concert.

My favourite group is “Mana”, began to listen when I was 10 years old, I remember saw a soap opera named “De pies a cabeza” and the main songs belonged to of this group. At that time my brother and I began to listen “Mana”,we had all their cassetes. I went to two concerts of this group, first I went to “National Stadium” with my father`s girlfriend and her daughters, after went to Viña festival with my father and brothers.

My favourite music to dance is reggaetón and electronic music, when I went to danced with my friends usually we dance reggaetón, but with my boyfriend and his friends we went to electronic parties and we dance electronic music.

Two years ago,in the summer I visited Brasil with my boyfriend, I love this place and I would like to return some day. On that ocassion I met a island called “Florianapolis”, on this island there are aproximately 60 beaches you can visite, my boyfriend and I went specifically to “Barra da lagoa” and we stayed in a bed a breakfast which was located very near the beach, in this town lodging, food and transport is very cheap and the night was very entertaining because they were parties on the beach. In a day we took a bus and went to another beautiful beaches.

I would like to return to Brasil, but in this ocassion I would like to travel to capital of this country: Rio de Janeiro because Florianopolis´s a popular with tourist and I would like to know more about the Brazilian culture, I would go to a restaurant and eat meat to the sword, I would like to give a tour of the city and I would go to a tipical places “Cristo redentor”, in this place I would take some photos, also I’d go to “Sambodromo” and dance with brasilian dancers.
I hope to raise money and realize one of my dreams

My first term

I think last semester in the university was very difficult because in all the subjects I did many works and research in group and I didn´t have free time for fun, but I feel I learned a lot. In communitary psychology my group and I we went to a communitary health center in Recoleta, in this place we participated in a group of addicts, this was a very good experience because we known how to work in the community area. In educational psychology I learned history and problems of chilean education. In this subject I worked in two pieces of research where I did an interview with a teacher.In Juridic psychology I learned how the psychologists work in the area of justice. My favourite class was clinical psychology because in this subject I learned the basics things of psychotherapy with children and my group and I did a research on " How media influence teenagers' suicide".
In the first semester during the week I went to all clases in the university and I went to university gym two times a week, on the weekend I saw my boyfriend, went shooping with my mom, went to the bar with my friends and on Sundays I studied and read .
I hope this term passes quickly and the summer vacations arrive.
