National Hypersensitivity Day
This day is an opportunity to revalue hypersensitivity. Launched by Saverio Tomasella, it helps to better inform managers on the characteristics and modalities of hypersensitivity. They represent a quarter of the population, there are almost 10 million in France. We must therefore now take into account the specific problems of hypersensitive people and their place in society.
Neurotransmitters: our neuronal language
Have you ever heard expressions like “having the memory of an elephant”? Or: “have the brain of a sparrow”?
Because yes, not so long ago, we thought that intelligence and brain size were linked.
Today, it is no longer a secret; intelligence has nothing to do with the diameter of the forehead or the volume of our brain. We know that, despite its average weight of 1400 grams, the human brain is the most evolved and dynamic in the living world.
Parental burnout
We have all heard of Burn Out Professional. But have you ever heard of parental/family burnout? Perhaps this is still taboo, but yes, despite all the love that parents can have for their child, a parent can fall into exhaustion from their parental role. Let’s take a closer look at this subject and without taboo this time!
Pessimism
“Stop always being pessimistic!” Have we often repeated this type of sentence to you? Pessimism is something we can all experience at certain times in our lives. However, some of us will be too pessimistic or even maladaptive, which will have an impact on our personal and professional lives.
Positive psychology
Even today, many therapies focus mainly on what is wrong. Thus a lot of knowledge has been accumulated concerning the negative which surrounds humans. But little attention has been paid to the strengths of people that enable them to be in a state of well-being. To get better, it is also necessary to understand what makes you feel good.
Post-traumatic stress
We hear a lot about post-traumatic stress (PTSD), but what is it really? Can you suffer from post-traumatic stress even if you haven't actually experienced a traumatic event? We will try to answer all these questions together.

Response Prevention – OCD

Schultz relaxation
Today we are going to discuss the Schultz relaxation method. Schultz autogenic training is one of the three relaxation methods strongly recommended by Doctor Malbos and for your patients who are anxious, addicted or who have an eating disorder. This relaxation method will ultimately be able to be applied to most of your patients, but will be particularly effective on your patients who are chronically stressed, in other words, who have a generalized anxiety disorder, but also on those who have a panic disorder or who have agoraphobia. For the little historical point; This relaxation method was written by Doctor Schultz, psychiatrist from the German Göring Institute. He applied this relaxation method with veterans of the First World War.
Self-determination
What if completing a task didn't depend solely on you? What if your personality was governed by fundamental psychological needs and responding to them leads you to personal fulfillment? Being self-determined means being able to respond to a feeling of freedom, interest, valuation and acceptance at the same time. Self-determination is then fundamental to our well-being.
Self-stigma
Belonging to a minority group can be a source of great suffering. Most often, this suffering comes from outside, from majority groups or other minority groups. But the stress and suffering felt in relation to this status can also come from within. Low self-esteem, dysfunctional beliefs, repetition of toxic patterns, self-stigma adds additional suffering to the minority experience. It is interesting to understand how this mechanism works to better support people who suffer from it.
September 4: World Sexual Health Day
The WHO defines sexual health as a “state of physical, mental and social well-being in the area of sexuality (…)”, emphasizing the importance of the psychological aspect in sexuality. If sexual health is often seen through the prism of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and somatic dysfunctions, it is important to remember that sexuality is above all mental. It goes through desire, libido, excitement, attraction, among others. So let's take advantage of this World Sexual Health Day to take stock of the mental and social aspects of sexual health.
