Results: The analysis of the SF-12 questionnaire applied to patients with chronic kidney disease, it was obtained that 50% of the patients have a problem in the state of health, because there were factors with a greater problem in physical function (role physical, bodily pain) and mental function (psychological health, social function).

For which a type of quasi-experimental research was applied, in which, with 60 volunteers, they were divided into two groups, a control group, who were not part of the experiential techniques, and the experimental group, who were participants in these workshops, to achieve a comparative analysis. It was developed through direct observation in the workshops and the application of the Coopersmith self-esteem inventory for type C adults, following the pretest and posttest methodology. The results found of the application of experiential techniques in selfesteem were evident since the subjects in the pre-test stage of both groups obtained a score that estimated them with low self-esteem, consequently, the experimental group after 3 weeks of workshops and the application of Experiential techniques obtained high scores on the Coopersmith scale, which classified them with a medium-high and high self-esteem, indicating that experiential techniques have a high impact on increasing the self-esteem of caregivers, these results are corroborated by the T of Wilcoxon which suggests that there is a significant correlation between the increase in self-esteem and the development of experiential therapies, establishing this type of techniques as effective
