As physician workloads increase and burnout rates skyrocket, there is a constant search for new ways to cope.
Sophrology, a stress management technique popular in Europe, may help ease the burden.
The definition of sophrology is, โthe study of consciousness in harmony.โ The practice was founded in the early 1960s by
Colombian neuropsychiatrist and professor Caycedo as an alternative option to potentially traumatic
interventions. Professor Caycedo sought to use sophrology to treat war veterans with posttraumatic stress syndrome.
The practice was first implemented in France and Switzerland and is now even covered by health insurance.
