Susana García Medrano.

Psychotherapist and training facilitator.

I studied Rural Sociology at the Autonomous University of Chapingo, in Mexico. I studied specialty Gestalt psychotherapy, the Facilitator Training Diploma and Diploma in Person Centred Approach in the Humanist Institute for Gestalt Psychotherapy. I studied the levels I and II of SAT: training Holistic Psychotherapy and meditation, under the direction of Claudio Naranjo. I did professional training in Biodynamic Body Psychotherapy Centre in Yollocalli. I attended the Master in Dance Movement Therapy at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. I trained as a Doula in Barcelona.

Most of my working life has been in feminist civil organizations whose axes are health and sex education, sexual and reproductive rights, equality between men and women and the construction of active and participatory citizenship. I am facilitator of meaningful learning groups since 2000. I have taught workshops, classes and courses for health personnel, teachers and justice at the state and federal level; adolescent and adult women in indigenous, rural and urban contexts; civil society organizations, undergraduate and master's degree in universities in Mexico and Spain.

I have specialized in the areas of prevention and treatment of violence against women, sexual and reproductive rights, gender, sexual and reproductive health, development of psychosocial skills, prevention of wasting syndrome (burn out) and promotion of self-care and training of facilitators / learning groups. I am a lecturer at the Leadership Institute Simone de Beauvoir in Mexico and the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain.

As a psychotherapist my greatest experience has been with young and adult women with whom I have worked with Gestalt approaches, Biodynamics and Dance Movement Therapy. In Barcelona I did professional practices in Dance Movement Therapy with patients with severe mental illness and victims of sexual abuse in childhood. I am a registered member of the Association of Dance Movement Therapy Spain and the Association of Dance Movement Psychotherapy UK.

I currently live in Glasgow, Scotland. I have learned that are travelers / as constant and life must be able to travel with good companies and light / as luggage.
