The news is so stressful that never in 12 years, according to INSEE, the French do not are felt so bad. Morale at half mast which considerably boosts the wellness industry, with its coaches and its books in spades. But be careful with your choices, because taking care of your mental health cannot be improvised.
Well-being, the promise of a better life: on social networks, messages of this type are multiplying, and in bookstores, sales of well-being books have jumped 20% in one year. For Natasha Calestremewho writes books on this theme, this success is fueled by the crises of the past two years: “The fact that the health crisis allowed people to realize that they were not well, it forced people to open up to something.“
In the wellness market, there are also personal development consultants. Between these coaches and psychotherapists, the boundary is sometimes blurred. “Even if it is not a recognized state diploma, it does not pose a problem for me in the sense that I obtain results, and very good results”says Frank Beeldensclient of one of these coaches.
But sometimes, certain practices worry health professionals, especially when influencers and coaches can edit their own methods. “What could be dangerous in these books is if we tell these people that they do not need to consult, or even that we must be wary of healthcare professionals.“, warns Professor Antoine Pelissolopsychiatrist.
