Could other alternatives such as hypnosis, sophrology or meditation help me manage my stress?
It's not easy to know how to manage stress. While some find real comfort in sophrology, which works on breathing, muscle relaxation and mental imagery, others prefer hypnosis, which creates a state of consciousness conducive to combating stress. Another "classic" approach is mindfulness, developed through meditation. Alongside these mind-body techniques, some people will experience the same benefits from a saxophone or pilates session. So, there's not just one stress management method, but many. It's up to you to find your own!
