The understanding of the subjective foundations of a patient’s suffering and illness throughout the therapeutic process, is a relevant and transversal variable for psychotherapeutic models based on a Constructivist paradigm. From the Hermeneutic Phenomenological Post-Rationalist psychotherapeutic method, this phenomenon is called Self Appropriation. Because this phenomenon occurs in the private sphere of experience, the methodology used for studying it must allow its access from a first person perspectitve, this is, from the person who experiences it. This qualitative study was carried out, with a descriptive scope, using the Micro-phenomenological Interview methodology. Using this methodology, the results of ten interviews with patients who had undergone a constructivist psychotherapy were collected and analyzed. The results obtained allowed us to understand the appropriation of oneself as a transversal phenomenon characterized as a transformation in the way of understanding and accessing their suffering. This new form of intelligibility allows the patient to position himself in a place of ownership regarding his circumstances, and guides renewing action and opens possibilities for personal transformation.
