The first episode of Star Wars is released in cinemas, marking the beginning of the most popular saga in film history.

May 25th, 2021

Characters from the saga become the endorsers of a campaign for a cognitive therapy centre that provides “skills training”.

Star Therapy organises groups focused on learning how to manage emotions, increase interpersonal skills and cope with suffering and stress.

The skills training programme is divided into several modules.

The meetings help to reduce impaired cognitive coordination...

...to control the instability of personal identity...

... to attain greater self-acceptance by the valuing of one's own experience…

...to master negative emotions and to foster positive ones...

... to accept traumatic or problematic personal experiences.

Meetings last an hour and a half and are held weekly over a period of six months to a year.

These are add-on treatments to individual therapy and medication.
