Our Method - Bathysmed

The Bathysmed Protocol: An Innovative Approach for Stress Treatment

Bathysmed® is an innovative therapeutic protocol developed by physicians and therapists. It has been validated in clinical studies conducted on individuals who have experienced profound stress and trauma, including DivHope (with survivors of the Bataclan attacks) and CogniDive (military personnel returning from the front).

An approach that combines mindfulness meditation, sophrology, and mental preparation techniques practiced in immersion.
The water allows for the recreation of a secure and soothing environment, promoting relaxation and tranquility.
This protocol can be used preventively to maintain well-being or therapeutically to alleviate symptoms of conditions such as post-traumatic stress or burnout.

Why does it work?

This explains the effectiveness of the Bathysmed method.

1. Heart rate coherence

The scuba-diving regulator promotes deep and controlled breathing, activating our parasympathetic nervous system and slowing our heart rate as it synchronises with our breath.

2. Mindfulness

Immersion facilitates a state of mindfulness – in which one is free from the stimulation and stream of intrusive thoughts above land – to focus longer and more deeply on the present moment.

3. Disconnection

The sensation of being enveloped by water is reminiscent of pre-natal existence – floating weightlessly in intrauterine fluid – stimulating our proprioceptive awareness and heightening kinaesthetic sensation: movement felt by the muscles, tendons and joints.
