How Do We Stay Grounded in Uncertain Times? Analía Cordero

Many of us are asking the same question, where political, economic, and emotional instability seem to overlap: How do I stay grounded?

In this episode of Connected Conversations, Elena Petrova sits down with Analía Cordero - a psychological consultant, counselor, educator, and director of SerEs Magazine, to explore emotional resilience in uncertain times.

Analía brings years of experience working in private practice and as a supervisor for other professionals. She also teaches in the Higher Technical Program in Counseling and Human Development, making her uniquely equipped to reflect on both the individual and collective experience of anxiety, change, and emotional growth.

🌪️ A Time of Shared Uncertainty

Both Argentina and the United States are going through waves of political, economic, and cultural transformation. Analía reflects on how societal pressure trickles into the individual psyche, and how recognizing this collective stress is a powerful step toward healing.

She explains how counseling differs from therapy in the Argentine context, offering a more accessible and immediate emotional support model for those navigating day-to-day overwhelm.

🧠 Coping Tools in Times of Change

In the episode, Analía shares a variety of practical tools and techniques for working through emotional instability:

• Setting boundaries without guilt

• Relearning how to listen to yourself

• Understanding emotional “messages” instead of silencing them

• Creating rituals of stability in your daily routine

She reminds us that anxiety isn’t always a personal issue - it’s often a rational response to chaos, and it deserves attention, not shame.

📚 Education as Healing

Beyond one-on-one counseling, Analía is deeply invested in education.

As a teacher and mentor, she works with future counselors to develop not only their academic knowledge but their emotional intelligence and professional ethics. She also directs SerEs Magazine, which explores the intersections of counseling, community, and human development.

Her goal is to make emotional care more visible, accessible, and normalized.

❤️ Grounding in Human Connection

In one of the most touching moments of the episode, Analía shares her belief that even during moments of intense change, we are not alone.

Through honest conversation, community, and the language of care, we can begin to feel anchored - no matter what’s happening around us.
