YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES
Isabelle, 53, tried sophrology ten years ago. She had come there by chance, before an operation that frightened her. She stayed there, to soothe her body and mind and find calm, to the point of practicing today at an almost daily pace. She tells this "revelation" at the microphone of Olivier Delacroix, Thursday, on Europe 1.
"When I learned that I was going to have surgery on a serious operation, it was immediately a little anxiety-a colleague of mine told me a little about sophrology and gave me the positive side. This personal step I went to see a sophrologist who helped me prepare this operation and it was a real revelation and a real success, as for the operation, and the post-operation.

The sessions consisted of me talking a little about the anxieties, the problem of this operation which seemed to me a little important, even with some dangers. It was to learn to see the positive side, to be less stressed on this test, with a balance between body and mind. It's mostly the calm, the slightly Zen side that I found. There was no more stress. Despite this ordeal, there was the positive side. I really thought everything was going to be fine. I enjoyed regaining that mastery of mind and body.
I continued to practice sophrology in a group session every week. I need it to have my personal air bubble to refocus, analyze moments of stress, find calm ...
I have also had some difficult moments. This allows for individual sessions, and to be able to work a little more precisely on a point that does not work well. Thanks to the sophrology, we do a little relaxation, positive images and we resume calm and serenity. It's almost become everyday.

I had a change of function within my company that was not very easy and well managed. I took it badly enough. I immediately rethought sophrology, it is a method that suits me and it allows me to be less stressed and better, both in my body in my mind, without taking medication. This alternative medicine, very soft, allowed me to regain confidence in myself and to go back after this change, to make the turn of a way much more calm and serene.
