This year, the sophrology workshop was proposed to the students, 10 sessions for the first and second trimesters and 5 sessions for the third trimester. The overall participation was 83%.

​

During the second trimester, the sessions took place in person and via video for those who were at home at the same time. We used WhatsApp video.

​

Each session was audio-recorded so that students could practice at home if they wished.

​

The reasons why students participate in the sophrology workshop are as follows:
94% - To manage their stress and emotions
34% - To learn a new method, to have heard good things about it, to learn how to meditate, well-being.
34% - Want to learn to relax and calm down

​

The theme of the workshop was based on the participants' objectives. We worked mainly on :

• getting to know their body's messages

• learning to direct their mind towards positive thoughts and feelings

• learning to use their own capacities.

• experiencing and understanding the relationship between mind and body

• learning to be calm and objective

• a non-judgmental attitude towards themselves and others

 

Here is the feedback from the participants' survey on the workshop. The rate is from 0 for bad to 10 for excellent.

1) Positive changes in daily life since the beginning of the workshop = 7/10

2) Sophrology helps in daily life and will help in the long term = 7/10

3) Effectiveness of sophrology in relation to needs = 7/10

4) Likelihood of continuing to apply sophrology methods in daily life = 6/10

5) Overall satisfaction with the sophrology workshop = 8/10

6) Relevance of the sophrology workshop at school = 7/10

7) Likelihood of recommending sophrology to a friend or family member = 8/10

8) Likelihood of attending a similar workshop again in the future = 6/10

Here are some comments from participants:

​

"A very good workshop that helped me a lot personally and that relaxed me a lot from the school atmosphere that we are subjected to all day long".

"I used to have a lot of problems sleeping. Now, before going to bed, I try to do the exercises and I fall asleep much easier.

"I really enjoyed the sophrology sessions because it was one of the few quiet moments in my week. I also realised that sophrology had helped me a lot, with my sleep, my classes, my exams and my usual stress.

"Sophrology helped me a lot in my concentration, my sleep, my self-confidence, and my stress management. The workshop was pleasant, good atmosphere and very useful. I'm thinking of doing sophrology again next year.

"I can manage my stress a little better.
