island in a spot of the spot whose
name I do not want to remember does not
long lived a gentleman of the
spear in shipyard
so one of the stories begins
summit of Spanish literature the
ingenious gentleman Don Quixote of the
stain and curious as a story can
endure over time and
remain current will not be such
once for this fight between reality and
the fiction between madness and sanity
to the first image that comes to your mind
when I tell you quixote of the stain
mills how many mills see
wind
Quique strength has that moment exploded
when Sancho Panza tells Don Quixote
that what they are seeing are not giants
horrible and not simple windmills
first of all I have to make a
small clarification and apologize
for specialists and experts in
letters
this is not a talk about literature
I am court and my job is
accompany people so they can
recognize the stories that are told
find other stories to be able to
achieve things they want but beyond
of that does not stop surprising the way in
which like the ingenious
Hidalgo confused windmills with
Giant people of flesh and blood
as we also usually
distort reality
we all have something of Quixote yes or no
clear and if we look a little bit more
we can also find a
little bit says sancho panza that accompanies
and endures the follies of another but what
I’m interested in the madness
most known quixote distortions
as cognitive distortions that these
the developed several authors has been
researched a lot about this
some of them albert ellis does
many years
development what they call distortions
cognitive and then Aaron sees that
they found 18 18 ways in which
people distort reality
let’s see some of them about
generalization that when we take from
the elements of a situation and the
we bring to their maximum exponent all and
what we do to see if it sounds
family for example everyone greeted me
for my day less voice to voice never you
you remember nothing
I always remember everything
always nobody nothing ever
some is identified a little
but teseo this problem with the
following that is the abstraction
arbitrary which means that of all
the elements of the story you take one
negative of course and you do that
part the whole
for example I’m tired of your
constant scorn knows what I
it cost to get this cleaning fluid
of floors so it is not so lightly
tell me it’s not good for floors
straightened cement I’m despising to voice
I’ll just say this is not
serves us but tecos and not this case for
there
let’s try arbitrary inference
that when you draw a conclusion
hurried on a small
information that is many times
it’s even unreal
for example you do it to make me feel
bad you like to see me suffer any
similarity with reality is mere
coincidence
and if not that splashed up here try
with this other than when you think everything
it is by voice that everything is done to you by voice
for example personalization your
midday family
you can not see me that the table therefore
says we’re all a little quixotic
we all have something we all have something of
that
however you have to be careful because
many times these distortions can
put at risk the physical integrity and
moral of the people for which it is
important to consult with a professional
duly of course but that we
will take this conversation to another plane
and another and another terrain and make a jump
maybe that’s because beyond the
circumstances even beyond the
distortions so that a quixote and a
sancho exist in our reality makes
missing observers be the writer the
author who composed the work and of some
way to start taking the perspective
like that of an author with the metaphor of
writer and in this case the one of cervantes
is to begin to consider that beyond
of the stories that we do not tell
may be true or not but it’s always going to
be the question of the meaning that
we attribute to what we are seeing in a
problem in a discussion with voice not
I can feel that you are wanting me
manipulate and one can feel that I’m
sealed and are sensations that
are very difficult to corroborate what
true is like respect
He knew how to be very careful with what you
I say and you feel that I am missing the
respect and and vice versa
therefore , keep in mind that always
we are telling each other stories about
things and access the perspective as the
of a writer is to recognize that
any story that we tell
it’s always going to be a function of our
particular way of observing things and
this implies a challenge the challenge of
Consider also other options and
other ways of seeing to run these
antagonisms and duality is how it is done
all right
let’s take for example some difficulty
a problem or a conflict that
let’s meet
imagine for a while that we are like
writers that we observe the different
situations we explore the different
elements we create a story
and we focus on some purpose of
something that we want to accomplish this involves
maybe lower the decibels go down a
change and enter a process of
dialog to be able to access a
resolution or a joint solution not
that’s why the third point is important
which is to find a purpose so that
tell a story to tell us
another story
If what we are looking for is to solve
a problem
the road we are going to travel is going to be
a function of that purpose
If what I want to solve is going to be
surely easier a way to
reconcile
On the other hand, if I want to dominate
and impose it is more likely that the way
is plagued with reproaches complaints and and
tensions
I think that of all the purposes that
that it is proposed precisely to add is the
that allows us to enter a space of
dialogue to be able to inquire from another
place that is what we want where
we’re
in relation to what we can do and
what decisions do we make based on
that we can all always count on
another story about the circumstances
let’s not forget that what we see is always
a cut of a reality very much
much more extensive and although of
somehow we do this
intuitively by becoming aware and
doing it voluntarily we can take the
momentum of all the positive force that
can bring this to be able to improve
our links our relationships and
achieve better better things then the
look of a writer or the look of
Cervantes is nothing other than the gaze
who in a situation creates a
story recognizes it as such and it is done
responsible in order to achieve
fulfill a purpose the look of
Cervantes is a creative proposal for
to be able to leave the duality of
black and white and the antagonisms for
to be able to look with other eyes
the circumstances for example I can see
a problem as a challenge to my
skills to be able to answer
that or an opportunity to review the
way in which we are linked or
a notice that the way in which
we are carrying such things
once they lead us well and perhaps
make the decision to continue recalculate
drop the look of cervantes
then it is the possibility to take
awareness that it is us who
we weave our stories in our
mind and we can reinvent them and we can
imagine that these stories through
the hand also a gift gift of
to create gift to believe in
the possibility of building together a
reality that is not more useful for
be better to be happier or to
celebrate the wonderful opportunity to
to be able to do something together
this is just a look at that is
only that I know that I am son tells you
what if Don Quixote and I know I’m bread
sancho panza and has been holy happens but
I can be cervantes
this is a small point that marked a
subtle difference company the viewer
of things or the creator of them
build stories from my stories
most wonderful of my literature
life just by choosing the way of looking
thank you very much
