Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The intervention group will consist of the Ínsula method. Insula method will be developed twice a week for 12 weeks online form through videoconference platform. The intervention will consist of twelve individual treatments. It is a program of Physiotherapy in Mental Health, created by the physiotherapists Eugenia de León (Guatemala) and Moisés Magos (Mexico) in conjunction with the Psychiatrist Roberto Martínez Porras (Guatemala). It has a progressive design, seeking to strengthen emotional self-regulation skills, connection with others and the environment, and to guide a self - knowledge process.
