The teaching profession is no longer attractive. Sometimes even, certain professors crack, and leave the school definitively. Portrait of a teacher who slammed the door.
Nathalie Portois, a former technology teacher, threw in the towel two years ago after 30 years in teaching. Pushed out by a burnout, she is now relieved. “Leaving National Education was a real obstacle course. It was a real liberation when I was able to sign this contractual break”, she confides.
His depression lasted four years. Nathalie Portois was hospitalized twice in a psychiatric clinic. “The crack is the exhaustion of giving yourself so much. (..) We don’t hear you, we don’t hear your suffering…“, regrets the former professor. To cope with stress, Nathalie Portois trained in sophrology. The practice saved her, so she decided to make it her job. Today, the former professor continues to transmit: she leads sophrology workshops in schools.
