Consultations in Sophrology

Individual Consultations

Destined for a person having a specific problem, an individual one-hour consultation takes place in the following manner:  

1 – A sophrological interview, pre-sophrological dialogue (15 min): the Sophrologist’s questionnaire, in order to gain an understanding of the patient’s situation at the time of the first meeting; during the following sessions, these interviews focus on the patient’s experiences during the Training, the changes that are observed, progress, eventual difficulties, etc. Since the individual sessions are centred on a personal problematic, they include a dialogue which permits the adaptation of the sessions to the patient’s needs.

2 – The actual session (approximately 20 min): seated, standing or lying down, the patient is guided by the Sophrologist’s voice which encourages him to relax completely, to observe his physical, emotional and mental tenseness in order to evacuate them, activate his energy and cast himself into different situations (past, present and future), to feel confidence, harmony, hope …

3 – Phenodescription, Vivantial-Sophro-Analysis and post-sophrological interview: the patient expresses with words what he felt during the sessions, talks about the phenomena which occurred (sensations, impressions …). Children express themselves with drawings. According to the patient’s aspirations and his experience of the sessions, the Sophrologist proposes un protocol for the sessions to come.  

N.B. The first three sessions are generally the same for everyone. They constitute the three «key techniques» of Sophrology:  

Basic Sophronization: Simultaneous physical and mental relaxation.

Sophro-Deplacement of the Negative: Identification, then relaxation of physical and/or mental tenseness.

Vital Sophro-Activation: Activation of energies.

Following this, more specific techniques and exercises (Techniques of Intra-Sophronic Activation) will be introduced, according to the needs of the patient. Generally, 4 or 5 sessions are necessary in order to acquire the basic techniques which, if practised regularly, become more and more efficient and easily usable by the patient in his daily life.

The sessions can be recorded, thus allowing the patient to train himself at his place of residence between two sessions.

«Dynamic Relaxation» techniques, guided meditations and specific exercises (this method uses relaxation, breathing, body movements, visualization …) for personal development and in order to work on the conscience, in an atmosphere of respect and sharing. The techniques are the same for the entire group, but they are experienced differently by each member, according to his personal way of functioning, his history and the events of his day. At the end of the session, each participant is invited to freely express himself during the exchange of mutual expression of views (phenodescriptions) and can thus benefit from the experience of the other participants.
