La atención plena como herramienta psicoterapéutica en madres en fase de crianza

Abstract

The article concerned bases its focus on third generation therapies and is developed from qualitative research, from the method of reasoned theory, to demonstrate the experience of maternity and its significance. Likewise, it will briefly explore the Theory of mindfulness as a potential psychotherapeutic proposal for Mothers and their coping strategies. To gather the data, interviews were conducted with women via videoconference, due to limitations placed on physical contact caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. They explored how women experience maternity, the stress caused by the upbringing of children, the support networks that they are able to count on, how they experience their working role and if they would be available to undertake a psychotherapeutic process as a coping mechanism for stress. The results obtained indicate that women that take on the role of Mother show stress, the need for space for themselves, the desire to look after their mental health and the usefulness of a psychotherapeutic process.
