Reintegration and social reentry as part of partial or complete recovery

Although partial or total remission (reduction or disappearance of symptoms) may seem like the most expected or easiest thing to cope with, it has its degree of complexity. This can lead to extreme fear of relapse (Damocles syndrome) or be harmed again, which triggers hypervigilance (excessive concern about symptoms), immobility, avoidance of activities, catastrophic thinking, and muscle tension, these generate suffering, exacerbate and perpetuate limiting thoughts. This is because the person knows they are alive, but the person they were can no longer be found, having lost the identity of “the sick person” and now facing a return to the world from which illness had distanced them.

At COINCIDIR, we can support and welcome the new version of yourself that emerges after recovery. We explore the personal meaning you assign to your healing process, strengthen your self-concept, work on rebuilding self-confidence, and help you adapt to any side effects of treatment so that isolation is avoided and this long-awaited stage of life can be enjoyed.
