Welcome to another episode of the Mental RACE Podcast! Today we
have a special guest, Dr. Ana Callego who has been researching
and teaching conflict resolution in intimate partnerships.
We'll uncover the secrets to fostering healthier, more harmonious
connections with your partner and shed light on the various
strategies that couples employ in resolving their disputes. We
will also discuss the more grim side of our relationships -
physical and psychological violence and abuse, and how “the
nordic paradox”, i.e. gender-based violence being higher in the
countries with most gender equality compared to some countries
with less gender equality. But that's not all - we'll also
discuss how working on and nurturing intimate partnerships can
have a profound impact on the performance and wellbeing of the
individuals within the relationship. Specifically, we discuss
about the work of John Gottman and how Dr. Gallego has
implemented this in her intimate partnership workshop.
The quality of our personal relationships can significantly
influence our emotional and mental state, and ultimately, our
performance in various aspects of life. So, whether you're
navigating the choppy waters of a long-term partnership or just
starting a new relationship, get ready for an eye-opening
discussion that could transform the way you approach conflict
within your most cherished bonds and how it can elevate your
personal and professional life.
Dr. Ana Gallego has been serving as a postdoctoral researcher in
the Department of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä since
2017. Her research pursuits primarily revolve around the
development and assessment of the effectiveness of interventions
rooted in acceptance and values, including Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness. While her primary
research focus centers on social anxiety, particularly Public
Speaking Anxiety, she also displays a keen interest in addressing
various facets of mental health, such as addictive behaviors,
sleep issues, and chronic pain. More recently, Ana has been
intriqued about the potential of virtual reality (VR) as a tool
for augmenting psychological interventions, and she has actively
participated in the VRperGENERE project, which seeks to employ VR
in addressing gender-based violence. In addition, Ana is
exploring the feasibility and acceptability of integrating other
technological tools, such as web environments, ecological
momentary assessment (EMA), and artificial intelligence (AI), to
enhance the efficiency of psychological interventions.
