Dr. Santiago Rojas, a physician and expert in well-being, explained on August 31, 2026, that fear and anxiety after a traumatic event like an earthquake can persist for weeks and require physical intervention. ^[1] Dr. Rojas advised that the second exercise consists of speaking to oneself in a whisper to calm down, noting that this mimics the soothing voice of parents and children. ^[2] Dr. Rojas stated that after weeks have passed since an emergency, fear often crosses the barrier of anticipation and becomes hypervigilance, which is described as a biological act. ^[3] The third exercise recommended by the expert involves breathing through the nose rather than the mouth to avoid triggering a survival mode interpretation in the brain. ^[4] In the videopodcast '¿Y la armonía qué?' with Comfandi, medical writer and doctor Santiago Rojas discusses the concept of holistic well-being. ^[5] Rojas states that true well-being begins with recognizing oneself as an integral being. ^[6] Santiago Rojas argues that well-being is not merely about caring for the body but also encompasses happiness, human relationships, and the role of conscious breathing. ^[7] The episode is part of a series where Rojas answers questions about how to achieve integral well-being. ^[8]

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

Why these sources, and not others

How the desk chose them

We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
