Psychotherapy: from survival to life
"Every desire, even the one of speaking, is a desire to live."
Hubert Aquin (1929-1977)
Psychotherapy is, in my opinion, the only method that has the power to drastically modify a person destiny.
When I speak of destiny, I refer more implicitly to the flaws, shortcomings, but also strengths, resources that we have acquired or not in our childhood and which later, will forge our choices, our decisions until even choosing our soul mate! It is for me the only form of destiny in which, I do believe.

In psychology, we understand that a very small part of our life is due to chance. Personality is started to emerge within the first months of life by interacting with our most primal objects, our parents.

To illustrate this point, it is evident that a child brought up by parents who have lived in a context of war, and therefore of death and constantly on alert, will unconsciously transmit this angst to their children. The same children will wonder why they might develop further in their lives, feelings of hypervigilance, mistrust, constantly watching for the slightest danger. It is therefore probable that those children will develop in their adult life a form of generalized anxiety coming from a family inheritance.
