A TEAM OF SPECIALISTS IN MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH CLOSE TO YOU

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the
absence of diseases or illnesses"
OMS, 1946.


At PROP we work with you to recover your HEALTH.
We are people oriented professionals.
Specialized in areas key to achieving your well-being.
We adapt to you to achieve your goals.
We are organized to solve highly complex problems;

LET’S BUILD
YOUR CHANGE TOGETHER

We are independent professionals dedicated to mental and physical health,
specialized in specific areas and organized to address complex issues. We all have
a previous public and private personal trajectory; we do not establish hierarchies.
We share a purpose: to contribute to you our knowledge and enthusiasm for what we
do, for it is what we like the most, what we have prepared for.
This is our method:

From the first moment, we choose the professionals who can bring greatest value to
the treatment, both because of their knowledge and their skills.

“What’s going on with the patient? How old are they? Where will the sessions take place?” From the first moment we will take these elements into account. We will then work with the person to establish a shared therapeutic plan, involving the professionals essential to achieve the change and then put it all together.

We believe in quality care, where there is no rush but deep knowledge of the case. We believe in flexible treatments that achieve real and substantial results. Quiet sessions, punctuality, closeness and mutual respect. We propose direct contact between the professional and the person. Between sessions, we maintain the necessary contact to offer support and answer any doubts.
What do we expect from the person? Commitment and enthusiasm for change. Only with an active attitude on the part of the whole team, where the person is the protagonist, we will achieve results.
In addition to being more satisfactory for both the professional and the person,this way of working makes us all involved in the process of change, the results of which are real.

By bringing the patient closer to the professional and working together,
any change is possible.

Specializations

PEOPLE

At PROP we serve people committed to changing. People who have problems and the ability to solve them. People who listen, but also talk. People who can both learn and teach. People who want to recover their place in the family or at work. People who, together with our team of professionals, fit in to form a structure capable of building change.

MARTINA

Abrupt change and conflicts

“I’m 18 years old, I have always been sociable and a good student. I’ve had a happy childhood. I’ve started to feel nervous a couple of months ago: I get angry, I think my friends are turning their backs on me... One day I got very tense: I had smoked a couple of joints, and I felt that I was being watched and that something bad was about to happen to me. I was taken to the hospital and given a treatment. Now I am calmer but I have gained 7 kg. The mental health center psychiatrist will not see me again for another month. I'm not fine but I prefer to keep it to myself: I do not want to be given more pills."

Martina had a first visit with Andrea who decided to change her medication. The first month she visited him every week and, for her peace of mind, they maintained contact by phone and texts between visits. Carlos Jacas did a structured diagnostic interview to clarify what was happening to her. She started with the group of young people and, after a few sessions, Martí accompanied her to an athletic group in a therapeutic environment of Sport2Live, with which she now trains twice a week. Thanks to the diet that Sara gave her, she has gone back to her normal weight. Her therapists are coordinated and do family interviews with her and her parents so that they are informed and reassured, always in agreement with Laura. Although only three months have gone by, she already feels like herself again.

MARC

Lack of motivation and cannabis

"I’m 19 years old and I’ve had trouble focusing in class since primary school. I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and for a time I took drugs, but I never really felt well. When I was 13, I got together with older kids; I tried cannabis and smoking pot became a common occurrence. Now I have little to tell about my life. I started studying Law but I only went to class for a couple of months. I normally stay at home sleeping until noon, and if I go out with friends I spend the time smoking joints. I often feel distressed: I do not see any meaning in what I do. The truth is that when I'm stoned I do not stress and I feel calm. "

Marc went to PROP because of his parents: they were concerned about the use of cannabis. In the first visit with Miquel he was reluctant to take pharmacological treatment. They agreed that he would initiate a session of individual psychotherapy with Albert, to try to stop the cannabis habit and, above all, to help him face his day to day, increase his motivation and make a life plan. After a few sessions, he started attending a group of young people with similar problems, led by Albert and Martí.
Although he struggled to fit in, little by little he has seen that the group helps him: with them he can talk about his worries, he’s no longer scared of looking like a weirdo, he feels understood. He’s also started training with a rugby club in Terrassa: it seems that he’s quite good at it.

NURIA

Mood swings and cocaine

"I am 37 years old and I have always been very intense, high-strung, a love you or hate you type. When I was a teenager I suffered from eating disorders, but now I try to eat well. I have gone to the psychologist and they say that I have a Personality Disorder... Now things are worse: I have had problems at work, I am using cocaine and my partner has given me an ultimatum. I'm very sad, if it weren’t for my son, I’d throw in the towel."

Nuria had a first visit with Albert and they decided to start individual psychotherapy.
After a few sessions, they considered that they had to intensify the treatment and began to attend a very discreet group led by Albert and Martí with people of her age with similar problems. She’s also had some sessions with Sara to improve her diet. One weekend in Sitges, she tried paddle surfing in a therapeutic environment with other friends from her group. Miquel visited her a couple of times, but they hardly used any drugs.

DAVID

Alcohol, cocaine, sex and work

"I am 43 years old and I have always done well: I have a good job, two children and a wonderful wife. And yet, today, I’m about to lose it all. I started having a drink after work, to relax. Then I started playing with cocaine: the first lines were just for the hell of it but it has already gotten out of hand, several nights I have not returned home.
My wife only knows about the women and says she can forgive me if I change. How can I tell her everything? How am I to climb out of this hole?"

David contacted PROP and had a first interview with Miquel. They decided on hospitalization to facilitate detoxification and to approach the habit situation with his wife. During the admission he met Albert, who later became his psychologist in both individual and group psychotherapy. Sport practice with an INEF trainer from the Sport2Live group was essential to keep his mind occupied and boost his self-esteem. Today David is climbing out of the hole and has regained control over his life.

ALFREDO

Aging, frustration and aggressiveness

"I'm 81 years old, and 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I do not really understand what this means and it scares me more and more. To be able to move better, I take a medication, but I do not have more assistance than the visits 8 with my neurologist, a couple of times a year. I feel impotent and I end up being aggressive with my family, who are the ones who take care of me and support me. I’ve never been violent, but seeing myself disabled and depending on others fills me with rage. When I feel worse, I cannot get the idea of ​​suicide out of my head: I've already threatened my family with it several times. "

Accompanied by his daughter, Alfredo attended a first visit with Silvia: she made a neurological study and readjusted his treatment. Since part of Alfredo’s difficulties in his daily life had to do with anger and negative emotions, he had a second visit with Jorge, who confirmed evident depressive symptomatology, and prescribed an
antidepressant treatment in parallel to the treatment for Parkinson's. Martí conducts home visits, and they’re working out better ways to face his difficulties in his daily life activities. Both Alfredo and his family remark that his mood has improved, and that aggressiveness and threats of suicide have disappeared. Despite the difficulties, he’s accepting his limitations and he’s letting other people help him, as he says, "I’m not thinking about throwing in the towel anymore..."

ENCARNA

Depression and memory problems

"Since I retired I have had a very active life, but these last few months I’ve been feeling sad and lethargic. My family is trying to cheer me up, but I do not get out of bed until noon. I cry without reason, and I spend my days doing nothing: I don’t seem able to focus on anything nor to amuse myself. I feel useless, and I think I'm losing my memory: I forget conversations, messages, names ... I am very much afraid of dementia, as was the case with my mother."

Encarna attended a first visit accompanied by her husband. Jorge gave her an antidepressant medication, and recommended a neuropsychological study to evaluate memory problems. Carlos Jacas diagnosed a mild cognitive impairment and recommended participating in a cognitive training group . The medication is beginning to show positive effects: Encarna is feeling more cheerful and has managed to resume her activities. Although she is still worried about her memory problems, she is starting to regain her self-confidence.

GROUPS

Big things are always built by group cooperation.

The group approach is key to our way of understanding the processes of change in
mental health. Although an individual approach is always necessary, the group will
provide us with something qualitatively different and, above all, very necessary.

Many minds generate more activity than two minds.

The synergies, resonances and feedback that occur in a group will always be more powerful and will generate deeper considerations than those produced in a duo. In a group, therapists have a less directive and less central role than in the individual format. Their figure is key as promoters of a reflective attitude and as facilitators of change. They seek to stimulate a proactive attitude in the participants, increasing the commitment to the common objectives, as well as the responsibility toward the individual change: they’re there to empower people. This is the PROP philosophy.

Sport, food and sleep are key elements to our well-being. We all are conditioned by our lifestyle, for both neurobiological and psychosocial reasons.
The evidence is overwhelming: a balanced diet, frequent and regular exercise and an adequate sleep pattern improve our mental health.

PHYSICAL HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL

That is why in PROP we integrate professional nutritional treatment and sports
advice in all our programs: for young and old alike. Our focus is on the development
of an optimal lifestyle.
We know that a change, to be solid, must come from within.

Teaching and Information

PR O P

; institut

PROP was born as a project that wants to integrate two aspects: health service and education. That is why part of our time and energy is focused on the development of teaching projects. We have a clear teaching vocation, which we develop mainly in the university field: degrees and postgraduate degrees in different disciplines within the health sciences. We also develop formulas to share our knowledge with other
professionals, in different formats (lectures, workshops and courses, face-to-face or
online), and always from our philosophy, our experience and our way of working.

When your therapist does not listen

El diagnóstico en psiquiatría y psicología es una tarea difícil. Tanto es así que permite múltiples debates que enfrentan distintas formas de entender la salud mental (para, por cierto, jamás alcanzar el consenso). Pero, pese a ello, los profesionales en muy pocas ocasiones ponemos el foco sobre el cómo llevamos a cabo el proceso diagnóstico y el...
