Opensynaps history

By Charly Hayoz
Founder
I had the idea for Opensynaps in 2017 on the shores of Lake Geneva, in Lausanne, Switzerland. The idea came to me after living with bipolar disorder for over twenty years. Faced with the proximity of these disorders, I was able to see the loneliness, anxiety and stress that such disorders can generate.
Faced with such suffering, it's easy to feel helpless, even when therapeutic care is available. What can you do at night when you're suffering from insomnia, anxiety attacks or moments of abysmal loneliness?
And the next day, when we need help, it takes more than a week to get a doctor's appointment. If we go to the pharmacy without a prescription, we'll only be given homeopathic or herbal products to "calm down".
Faced with such challenges, the idea of the Opensynaps therapeutic universe was born: a universe where people can seek a moment of warmth, a moment of comfort, therapeutic care, emotional support and help at any time. This universe had to be healthy, easy to access and use, and offer à la carte care, because every story is different.
And what better way than to combine hypnosis, sophrology and 6 other innovative mental methods?
Opensynaps was born, and then it was just a matter of finding the right people to bring their experience and knowledge to this great project!
I hope Opensynaps will help you as it helps me every day (:
