Self-Hypnosis

FR
AH

Linked to Émile Coué and the Nancy School, self-hypnosis rests on the self-induction of a modified state of consciousness and on suggestion by oneself, the subject constructing his own therapeutic statements. It unfolds across three poles: the management of the somatic symptom (chronic pain in particular), emotional regulation and the optimization of personal resources.
