Integrated Behavioral Health
As part of your health care team, our goal in Integrated Behavioral Health is to give you tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle and overcome emotional struggles.
Behavioral Health is a term used to describe both mental and emotional well-being. It includes many aspects of our lives. Good emotional health can be as basic as knowing how to cope with day-to-day challenges.
At times, it can be more complex and involve the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, substance use and other addictive behaviors. Behavioral health is an essential part of your overall health. At San Mateo Medical Center, we offer an integrated treatment approach where professionals across disciplines collaborate to treat the whole person and to promote wellness in all its forms.

Mindfulness Practice
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware
of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or
overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. While mindfulness
is something we all naturally possess, it’s more readily
available to us when we practice on a daily basis.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation
In progressive muscle relaxation, you tense a group of muscles as
you breathe in, and you relax them as you breathe out. You work
on your muscle groups in a certain order. When your body is
physically relaxed, you cannot feel anxious. Practicing
progressive muscle relaxation regularly will help you get better
at this skill, and in time you will be able to use this method to
relieve stress.

Diaphragmatic Breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing, sometimes called belly breathing, is a
deep breathing technique that engages your diaphragm, a
muscle at the bottom of your ribcage that is primarily
responsible for respiratory function. Diaphragmatic
breathing encourages full oxygen exchange — that is, the
beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide.
This type of breathing slows the heartbeat and can lower or
stabilize blood pressure.

Meditación de Atención Plena
La atención plena es la consciencia vigilante de las emociones,
sensaciones o acciones. Al centrarnos en el momento presente,
logramos tener otra perspectiva y analizar las situaciones con
más objetividad. Observamos lo que sucede a nuestro alrededor, en
uno mismo, y centramos voluntariamente nuestra atención en lo que
hay, sin juicio ni expectativa alguna.

Respiración Diafragmatica
La respiración diafragmática es un tipo de respiración relajante
que usa el diafragma. El diafragma es el músculo que se encuentra
debajo de las costillas y arriba del estómago. Con este tipo de
respiración, el diafragma ocasiona que el estómago, en vez del
pecho, suba y baje. Cuando los pulmones se llenan de aire el
diafragma presiona hacia abajo y el estómago sube (se mueve hacia
adelante). Cuando los pulmones se vacían de aire el diafragma
vuelve a subir y el estómago baja (se mueve hacia adentro). El
resultado es una respiración lenta, uniforme y profunda.

Relajación Muscular Progresiva
La relajación muscular progresiva (PMR, por sus siglas en inglés)
es una técnica que relaja los músculos de su cuerpo. Ayuda a
reducir la tensión o el estrés que tenga en los músculos. Cuando
libera la tensión, los músculos se relajan. La relajación
muscular progresiva se alcanza tensando y relajando un grupo de
músculos repetidamente hasta que el músculo permanece relajado. A
medida que practique, aprenderá a sentir la diferencia entre un
músculo relajado y uno tenso.

Terapia Cognitiva ComportamentalA Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental ou TCC é uma abordagem da psicoterapia baseada em investigaçoes cientificas. A TCC entende a forma como o ser humano interpreta os acontecimentos como aquilo que nos afeta, e não os acontecimentos em si. Ou seja: é a forma como cada pessoa vê, sente e pensa com relação a uma situação que causa desconforto, dor, incômodo, tristeza ou qualquer outra sensação negativa.

Respiração Profunda
A respiração profunda nos ajuda a acalmar a agitação, o estresse
e a ansiedade. Respirar bem para viver melhor é um princípio de
bem-estar físico e mental que exige nossa atenção entre a pressa
e as pressões com as quais convivemos todos os dias. Por sua vez,
e igualmente interessante, esse tipo de respiração permite que
nos conectemos muito melhor com nós mesmos, com as nossas
necessidades de vida.
