[Spanish] - La culpa: Sentimientos de Culpa

"Las emociones desempeñan un papel adaptativo. Cuando la culpa actúa de esta forma –es decir cuando la culpa es adaptativa–, su función es reconocer los errores y poner en marcha conductas de ajuste y reparación. En este caso, la culpa nos ayuda a no transgredir ciertas normas y códigos éticos, digamos que enciende un «aviso» que nos previene de cometer errores que podrían tener graves consecuencias. En este artículo voy a centrarme en la culpa desadaptativa, la que por su intensidad y frecuencia es fuente de dificultades y desórdenes emocionales. En el resto del contenido, salvo ocasiones que considere necesarias no insistiré en ponerle el calificativo. Cuando hablamos del sentimiento de culpa desde la Psicología, tenemos que hablar de otros términos y conceptos muy próximos: autoestima, perfeccionismo, rumiación, falta de autoconfianza, autocensura, miedo, asertividad, regulación emocional…; en efecto, la culpa está incorporada a muchas de nuestras dificultades emocionales, y en muchas ocasiones, no es fácil identificar si es el origen o la consecuencia (en muchas ocasiones ambas). Vamos a tratar de desentrañar qué es el sentimiento de culpa y ayudar a comprender qué podemos hacer para liberarnos de sus efectos más perjudiciales."
