A LITTLE PSYCHOLOGY OF COCKTAIL HOUR

Rights Holder: Enrick B
Original Language: French

And what if the pre-dinner drink was good for mental health and had therapeutic virtues?

Ah, the pre-dinner drink... friends, laughter, appetizers shared over a drink, that moment when we talk about everything and nothing, just having a good time...

The pre-dinner drink makes us feel good: we let go, we open up to others, we step out of our destiny: we simply exist.

Its virtues can be summed up in three words: self-esteem, letting go, healing. Psychologist Yannick Descharmes deciphers the mental health issues at play in this underestimated but highly beneficial social space. How this festive moment stimulates our sense of community and awakens the social animal that lies within us. Because happiness is experienced and multiplied with others!

Be careful, what you hold in your hands is not a book advocating drinking and overeating. No, it is truly an ode to this highly therapeutic occasion, this moment where body and mind become one in a dance where pleasure and relaxation intertwine, a dance also suitable for healing troubled souls. Cheers!

Yannick Descharmes is a psychologist and physical therapist by initial training, a business consultant, a lecturer, and a blogger (Eolepsy). He practices cognitive and behavioral therapies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and he also teaches at the University of Grenoble Alpes. He is also the author of Finding Happiness, in Your Mind and in Your Body.
