Spanish Psychologist Urges to Restore Feelings to the Center of Our Lives

Sergi Rufi: Why We Were Taught to Suppress Emotions and How It Destroys Lives

The modern world sets its own rules. We have become used to hiding our feelings. Psychologist Sergi Rufi suggests a different approach. He explains the importance of our emotional world.

What if the main problem of modern people is not an excess of feelings, but a catastrophic lack of them? This is the question at the core of “Abiertos a los sentimientos,” the new book by renowned Spanish psychologist and science popularizer, Sergi Rufi. His book is a bold manifesto that restores sensitivity to its rightful status as a vital force in a world that has persistently taught us to suppress it. In an era of total disconnection and mental noise, the author invites readers on a journey toward repressed emotionsβ€”fear, sadness, anger, and joy. He reminds us that genuine well-being is found not by thinking less, but by daring to feel more.

Mind versus heart: The lost balance

The idea of pitting feelings against thoughts is not new, but Rufi argues that we have gone too far. In his view, humanity has lived for decades under the true dictatorship of rational thinking, where feelings have been relegated to something marginal and undesirable. Undoubtedly, the ability to reflect is a valuable tool, but when we deny ourselves the chance to first experience emotion, we lose touch with our own needs and true desires. We become detached from what is most human in us. As a result, life grows cold, impersonal, and mechanical, dictated by someone else’s rules. The psychologist’s book calls for restoring balance between mind and heart and returning the emotional world to its rightful, central place in our lives.

The Power of Vulnerability: Why Sensitivity Is a Gift

For those who still believe that ‘feeling too much’ is a problem, an expert suggests looking at the situation from a different perspective. He is convinced that the real difficulty lies not in the intensity of emotions, but in the inability to accompany and process them properly. Sensitivity becomes a true gift when a person feels safe, trusts themselves and those around them. The real issue that destroys a person from within is not sensitivity, but suppressionβ€”when we are forced to silence and ‘swallow’ what we feel. A society focused on productivity, toughness, and control has always viewed sensitive people with suspicion. They were seen as inconvenient, inefficient, a hindrance. However, few acknowledge that truly experiencing emotions requires tremendous inner strength. Sensitivity is an expression of courage, not fragility, especially when one lives with dignity and without guilt. According to Rufo, academic psychology ignored the emotional world for a long time, striving to resemble precise, measurable sciences. But feelings don’t fit into charts and protocols, which is why psychology sometimes became ‘cold’ and forgot about the inner world of a person.
