To provide scientific evidence of their effectiveness and contribute to the discussion on the role of the body in the effects of these approaches, we carried out a field survey on one such approach, somatic psychoeducation (SPE), with assessments focused on anxiety and self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Materials and Methods:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0An observational multicentric longitudinal study was conducted on SPE clients (<i>N<\/i>\u2009=\u2009114) before and after a series of 10 SPE sessions freely implemented by practitioners (<i>n<\/i>\u2009=\u200925) in the field of their own practices. A one-off external group served as reference.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0SPE had two major effects: one is immediate, as one session lowered anxiety state by 30%; the other is in the long term, as anxiety trait decreased by 6.2 points at the end of the intervention, and self-esteem improved by 3.5 points. The absence of a practitioner effect allows us to generalize the results to the practice as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0The beneficial responses obtained simultaneously on anxiety and self-esteem after a 10-session SPE follow-up are of interest and are discussed, as they suggest possible behavioral changes. We attribute these results to the combined action of bodily experiencing and the enrichment of self-perception. Thus, our results open up new perspectives for mind\u2013body approaches in the context of well-being and preventive health care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can read the full article here (pdf):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fascia.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/artikel-The-effects-of-mind-body-approach-Danis-Boi-all.-act.2021.29341.ali_.pdf\">artikel The effects of mind-body approach Danis Boi &amp; all. act.2021.29341.ali<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"citation\">\n<div class=\"loa-wrapper hidden-xs\">\n<div id=\"sb-1\" class=\"accordion\">\n<div class=\"accordion-tabbed loa-accordion\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18698","item","type-item","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Effects of a Mind\u2013Body Approach, Somatic Psychoeducation, on Anxiety and Self-Esteem - Fascia Coll\u00e8ge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fascia.be\/fr\/item\/the-effects-of-a-mind-body-approach-somatic-psychoeducation-on-anxiety-and-self-esteem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Effects of a Mind\u2013Body Approach, Somatic Psychoeducation, on Anxiety and Self-Esteem - Fascia Coll\u00e8ge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"by Anne Lieutaud, Karine Grenier, and Danis Bois Alternative and Complementary TherapiesVol. 27, No. 4 Open Access Creative Commons license \/ Published Online:17 Aug 2021 https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/act.2021.29341.ali &nbsp; Abstract Introduction:\u00a0Mind\u2013body approaches are flourishing to answer the need for support in an increasingly demanding world.
