Sandrine Audoin has been practicing sophrology for some fifteen years. First on a personal level, then in a professional context, within the companies in which she held the position of Human Resources Director, then within her own practice for the past three years. Her aim is to help everyone learn to live in harmony with themselves, with others and with their environment.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Can you briefly outline the main principles of sophrology?<\/b><\/p>

Created and developed in the 1960s by Professor Alfonso Caycedo, sophrology is a psycho-corporal and behavioral therapeutic method. It aims to make each individual aware of all the possibilities that exist within him or her, so as to learn to be, live and exist in harmony with oneself, with others and with one's environment. Sophrology can be used to improve day-to-day well-being (stress management, emotions, sleep, burn-out...), to prepare mentally for a particular event or challenge (sport, exam, birth...), or in the case of a pathology, phobia or addiction.<\/span><\/p>

How does our environment influence our emotions, and our state of stress or relaxation?<\/b><\/p>

First of all, it's important to note that there's no general truth that applies to everyone. There is no predefined environment in which everyone would feel comfortable, which would be bright, light or white, for example. Of course, the position of furniture in a room, the style of objects, materials and colors all affect our sensibilities and influence our emotions. So we avoid dark shades if we have trouble sleeping, or long-haired cushions if we have a phobia about an animal...!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What are the basic principles of interior design and well-being?<\/b><\/p>

Once again, it depends on the individual. We don't all have the same living space, the same income, or the same working patterns: some have their own office, while others work in a flex-office or exclusively from home. Adaptability, one of the fundamental principles of sophrology, is essential. We all have the resources within us to adapt to the emotions we experience, however intense. But of course, we mustn't hesitate to capitalize on our environment to help us. We need to listen to ourselves, be kind to ourselves, and not hesitate to regularly modify our interior and exterior design and decoration, according to what soothes us. Play the seasonality card! It could be a detail: the smell of a candle that makes us feel good, the replacement of a painting that no longer suits us... Arranging our personal or professional interior like a cocoon should help us remember our resources and bring us serenity.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

And you, as a sophrologist, what are your allies in your practice in terms of layout?<\/b><\/p>

At my practice, unlike at home, I change the decor very little. But there's a reason for this: to have a caring and somehow universal place in which children, teenagers and adults feel as if they're in a bubble, totally at ease during each consultation. I chose neutral colors, including beige for example, and neutral but warm objects: scentless candles, no fountain, and no music. I installed a mirror, even though I've noticed that it's often an object that people shy away from. Looking in the mirror isn't always easy. Self-confidence and self-esteem are often themes addressed during a sophrological protocol, and that's what our practice is all about!<\/span><\/p>

Finally, from a personal point of view, I opt for noble materials (cotton, linen, etc.) at reasonable prices, preferably untreated. I also attach importance to the aesthetics and durability of furniture and objects. I prefer to pay a slightly higher price, but one that will be synonymous with timelessness and longevity.<\/span><\/p>

Last but not least, let's not forget the kitchen! It's a very invigorating and convivial room, where you can work on your ergonomics and motor skills, while enjoying yourself - I'm thinking in particular of people with disabling conditions. Pleasure is the key!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
