The participants were 20 students who voluntarily attended the workshop. The results obtained according to the analysis were: the majority of the participants were able to realize how their bodies somatize their stress with headaches (migraines). It was observed that the participants recognized that behind the anxiety they believed they suffered, was the fear caused by adverse situations in their lives.
