The Protocol is the working tool of this practice, now in book form: the map used in every session, written so that a reader can apply it alone.
The emotional intelligence titles exist because emotional intelligence is not an abstract concept. It is a clinical framework that determines how people identify what they are feeling, regulate their response, and function under pressure. In therapy, this framework is applied one person at a time. In writing, it reaches further.
The adult guide emerged from a postgraduate thesis at the Instituto de Estudios Psicológicos de España, where the research question was whether integrating emotional intelligence training into cognitive-behavioral therapy could produce better outcomes for stress, anxiety, and depression. The answer, supported by the literature, was yes. The book translates that finding into a structured, self-directed program.
The children's book came from watching a child learn to name what he was feeling and realizing that this single skill, building emotional vocabulary early, is the foundation everything else rests on. Regulation, empathy, resilience, social functioning: all of it starts with the ability to identify and articulate an emotional state.
