Training in sophrology

Caycedo wanted to create his own language to avoid any confusion with the existing disciplines from which he drew inspiration. To each his own vocabulary. He looked to ancient Greece for the roots of this new vocabulary (Caycedan semantics).

The sophrologist: Exercises sophrology after specific training (theory + personal practical training)

Sophronize: practice a sophronization session

The sophronized (or sophronizing): the person who follows a sophrology session, guided by the voice and the terpnos of the sophroogue. = Client, patient, student…

Sophronization: name of the session and the exercise.

The Terpnos Logos: it is the set composed of the words used during the sophronization and the specific tone used (neutral voice, soft, monotone.). In ancient Greece, this means of communication was already used for therapeutic purposes to create the “sophrosyne” state, a state of calm produced by beautiful words.
In sophrology we add a dimension linked to the sophronized himself. So in the anamnesis, we will take care to check if such and such an image can cause a blockage (word too personal, emotionally strong for the person) or on the contrary likely to appease him. The terpnos logos can be allusive or much more directive depending on the person or the situation.

Anamnesis: Interrogation of the sophronized.

The sophronic alliance: refers to the relationship between the sophrologist and the sophronized. The sophrologist and the sophronized person together establish an objective and the means to achieve it (resources, capacities). They thus form this alliance.
