Regina Kuri es psicóloga certificada en Terapia Cognitivo Conductual y consejera en adicciones, con más de 15 años de experiencia en áreas como prevención de conductas de riesgo, intervención en crisis y codependencia. Es autora de los libros "Girando en un tacón" y "Ya Aliviánate". En este episodio reflexionamos sobre las raíces de las adicciones, la desconexión colectiva y el impacto del individualismo en nuestras vidas. Desde su experiencia personal como corredora de largas distancias y su recuperación en Alcohólicos Anónimos, Regina comparte cómo el verdadero cambio no ocurre en el aislamiento, sino en la conexión con otros. Regina desmitifica el estigma de la vulnerabilidad, recordándonos que necesitamos mucha más fortaleza para mostrarnos que para escondernos. También recalcamos que es el sistema el que está enfermo y no necesariamente los individuos a quienes usualmente se culpa de enfermos o desviados. ¿Cómo influyen las palabras en la construcción de nuestra identidad? ¿De qué manera podemos resignificar los grupos de ayuda? ¿Y cómo podemos habitar la polaridad de sabernos todo y, al mismo tiempo, aceptar que no somos nada?

Tiago challenges the dominance of the abstract mind, exploring the profound ways our bodies, emotions, and communities shape creativity and connection. He shares personal anecdotes about his evolution as a writer, the transformative power of in-person experiences, and his embrace of somatic practices like ayahuasca and breathwork. We also discuss the role of rituals in questioning individualistic narratives that isolate us from ourselves, others, and the environment, as well as our perspectives on Mexican and American identities in terms of collective belonging and attitudes toward life.Is writing an intellectual or a somatic experience? Like healing, it is certainly both.
