The benefits of sophrology

The term SOPHROLOGY, inspired by ancient Greek*, means study of the harmonization of consciousness.

Sophrology is a psychocorporal method used as a therapeutic technique or experienced as a philosophy of life. It was designed in 1960 by neuropsychiatrist Alfonso Caycedo and is inspired by Western and Eastern techniques.

​

The sophrology of 1967  becomes the original method by drawing inspiration from other techniques: 

  • the “Coué method” (positive thinking), 

  • Jacobson's "progressive relaxation" (relaxation of muscle tension), 

  • the “Schultz autogenic training” (self-relaxation by suggestion), 

  • phenomenology (learning non-judgment), 

  • yoga (stimulation of breathing and muscle relaxation) and Zen (practice of meditation) enrich the hypnotic bases of sophrology.
