Psychology with Flow and a Good Ceramic Mug

In a world where anxiety seems to have become the “new normal”, Erica has decided to face it with authenticity, humor and a great deal of creativity. A psychologist specialized in TCA, anxiety, trauma and attachment, she combines everyday tools such as EMDR, IFS and emotional coaching. But also, on Ceramic Thursdays.

“Anxiety has always been my faithful companion. They basically awarded me a doctorate in emotional management and anxiety... thank you, life (I suppose)!”

From your account The Psychologist at Flow, Erica disseminates psychology in a close, accessible and unpretentious way. Because yes, humor can also be therapeutic.

When networks become a bridge (and not a showcase)

‍

The adventure of publicizing began with her classmates in the master's degree, with an account called The Psychologists of the Fifth. Later, that momentum took shape in his own personal project:

“Three years ago, The Psychologist at Flow was born, with the idea of offering a close and carefree look. A mix of disclosure and humor, because psychology can also be light while remaining profound.”

Erica firmly believes in the power of well-used networks: as a bridge, as a connection channel and as a way to bring mental health closer to those who need it.

The coming psychology: integrative, flexible and human

‍

When he thinks about the future of the profession, he is clear about it: he expects an integrative vision, centered on the person and the therapeutic bond, to gain weight.

“I feel much freer and more effective from an open approach. I think that accompanying with flexibility really allows us to connect.”

But it also launches a thought-provoking reflection:

“The world is moving so fast and it's making fun of us... Sometimes I wonder if anxiety isn't the new normal.”

‍

Create community, not just consultation

‍

In five years, Erica can't imagine major structural changes. Their vision of the future is more linked to well-being than to growth for the sake of growth:

“I want to continue as I am now: with a great team, a beautiful community and a lot of creativity.”

It is not ambition that drives his project, but rather the need to build a space in balance, consistent with his lifestyle and personal values.

What inspires: fiction, ceramics and phrases that wake you up

‍

Contrary to expectations, Erica does not cite psychology manuals among her great references. What inspires her most is fantastic and fictional literature, a way of escape and reflection outside of therapy. He is also a fan of his partner's books and podcast. Marta Segrelles:

“They are like a hug for the soul.”

What if I wasn't a psychologist? Maybe an actress, maybe a ceramist. In fact, their “Ceramic Thursdays” are one of their favorite spaces:

“I think I could dedicate myself to making ceramic cups and I would be very happy.”

Tips that come just when you need them most

‍

At a time of professional crisis, his mother threw him a phrase that still resonates:

“Do you realize that you live for Fridays?”

A question that forced her to look head-on at her pace of life and seek more sustainable ways of being in the world. Hence also his way of accompanying others: with honesty, without haste and without magic formulas.
