Yaqui Andres Martinez Robles is the founder of Circulo Existencial, which offers Master’s as well as post graduate programs from various perspectives within the broader existential psychotherapy orientation located in Mexico City.
Yaqui has written five books and is currently working on his sixth. Yaqui has lectured all over Latin America and continues to expand his unique brand of existential therapy to other parts of the world.
In this episode, Yaqui explains his brand of existential therapy, the meaning of phenomenology, and how it serves as the bedrock of his approach. Yaqui also explores his relentless desire to learn, his initial disillusionment with studying college psychology, a life changing reading of existential psychotherapist Irvin Yalom, and how Yalom himself inspired him to start what eventually became Circulo Existencial.
We also discovered that we have very similar taste in music, so we geeked out talking about some of our favorite records. I’m proud to hold the honor of being the host of Yaqui’s first podcast fully in English. Yaqui is a wonderful storyteller which will be a treat for clinicians and non-clinicians alike. I hope you all enjoy this episode.
Yaqui will be coming to Portland for a three day workshop starting October 7th 2022 brought to you by Existential Humanistic Northwest. Details coming soon at www.ehnwpdx.org.
