Evolutionary Humanistic Psychology

What is Evolutionary Humanistic Psychology?

The Evolutionary Humanistic Psychology offered by Montse Escobar at Monarka Clinic is a therapeutic space for profound transformation, integrating body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Unlike other more structured or symptom-focused approaches, this approach is based on a personalized and introspective approach.

It does not seek to correct behaviour, but rather to understand the emotional, physical, and spiritual origins each individual experiences. Each therapeutic process is unique. No two people are the same, nor can two stories be treated with the same approach. Through listening, focusing, trying to be present and tools such as integrative and regressive constellations, each person is guided to seek the root cause of their discomfort in order to find a solution.

A different approach

Support stems from active listening, sensitivity, and an intuitive connection with what the person needs at any given moment.

The therapy begins the moment someone calls for help. That act is already part of the process: by taking action, the healing process begins.

During the session, a safe, mindful space is offered, where there may be moments of deep exploration, but also moments of support and self-compassion.

This therapy is based on the present, without imposing paths or forcing openings. Sometimes it’s a time to heal transgenerational or soul memories, other times simply to accept and navigate the present. At the end of each session, a written text is provided with the points worked on so that the person can internalise what they’ve experienced, reflect, or reread it whenever needed. You decide when you want to return for a session.

What can we treat thanks to Evolutionary Humanistic Psychology?

Evolutionary Humanistic Psychology allows us to trace any discomfort back to its source and heal it.

These are the main sources of discomfort:

Anxiety is trying to communicate something important. It’s crucial to listen to it. It’s usually related to an internal struggle or a tendency to live in the future. Through the communication we establish with our bodies, we can ease anxiety.

A phobia is an intense fear that can be very restrictive. We’ll explore the origin of this fear through regression. When the memory that generated the phobia becomes conscious and is transformed, the phobia disappears.

It’s very common to have an addiction and be unaware of it. An addiction is a dependence on substances or activities that can be harmful to one’s health, such as eating, drinking, medication, drugs, gambling, shopping, sex, work etc. There are many addictions that we normalise in our daily lives. In therapy, the focus is on identifying what lies behind that behaviour, understanding its origins, and providing the person with emotional and spiritual tools to confront it from a different perspective.

Sadness, discouragement, or a loss of purpose are addressed through personal history and life context. In therapy, we observe an internal disconnection and a need to refocus one’s course of life. We will focus on identifying your desired path in life and provide you with the necessary tools to achieve your ideal future.

When pain is present, it’s important to approach it in an integrative way. Through psychological therapy, we’ll explore what is being expressed through the pain to identify your needs and make the necessary changes to lift the burden on your body.

The individual is guided through a process of deep reflection, understanding how sustained thoughts and emotions, as well as their life’s direction, can manifest in physical symptoms. This approach does not replace a medical approach, but rather complements it from an integrative perspective.

Moments of change, breakups, or grief are an opportunity to redefine who we are and what we want, as well as an invitation to create change in our lives. Therapy offers a space for support, guidance, and clarity in these processes, helping us find direction and take action for change.

This approach emphasises a shared responsibility. We analyse what the relationship signifies for each partner, the recurring issues, and how to overcome them. The key is to be aware of what’s happening so you can assume your share of responsibility and promote healthy changes that strengthen the relationship.

Sometimes, the desire to have children and the need to use fertility techniques can be a difficult process to manage. Our practice offers support to improve your well-being throughout this journey, including integrative constellation work to understand what may be hindering the fertility process.

Whether or not to have children is an extremely important decision. The idealised and romanticised view of motherhood/fatherhood is deeply ingrained, however it does not come without its challenges. To be able to parent responsively, it’s important to find a balance where guilt or hyper-responsibility do not take over.

Whether or not to have children is one of the most important decisions in life. The sugarcoated, uncomplaining view of motherhood/fatherhood is deeply rooted. To be able to parent adaptively, it’s important to do so consciously, thus finding balance without falling into guilt or hyper-responsibility.

Whether due to death, separation, or loss of meaning, grief is treated with respect and calmness, helping us navigate and come to terms with it, as well as taking forward the lessons that grief brings.

When life seems to be at a standstill or there’s a feeling of stagnation, we explore internal barriers, memories, and unresolved emotions. We will work to break free from limitations and open ourselves to endless possibilities.

Therapy also helps to reconnect with one’s personal spirituality, without dogmas or structures. Nurturing spirituality can lead to discovering meaning in one’s life and a connection with one’s vocation.

We’ll teach you the tools you need to manage your daily life from a different perspective.

To live longer, but above all,

best.
