You come with a problem. I start by looking for its origin.

Often, my patients come to me because they have themselves noticed a significant change in someone in their circle of friends whom I have supported.

At the beginning of the session, I ask you for your first name, your last name, and your date of birth.

Starting from that date, I calculate what I call in my approach your Karma of incarnation.

It is a first reference point for me. It gives me an orientation on what you came to work on in this life, on certain choices, certain difficulties you may encounter, your family environment, your trials, or even your challenges.

This initial explanation obviously does not replace what you are going to tell me.

Then I simply ask you: Why did you come to see me?

And the responses are extremely different from one person to another.

The reason for consultation is often just the starting point

It can be an inexplicable problem that you cannot get rid of, sometimes after several years of personal work or therapy.

I also receive psychologists, doctors, osteopaths, researchers and other healthcare professionals who come themselves to seek a different perspective on a particular issue.

There are ultimately as many situations as there are patients.

But for me, what you tell me initially usually constitutes the visible consequence.

I listen to what you say, but also to everything that goes with your words.

I listen carefully to you and ask questions.

Verbal communication is obviously important, but I am also interested in all non-verbal communication.

The gestures. The posture. The breathing. The voice. The way a person occupies space.

Her clothes, the colors she chooses, her jewelry, or even certain details of her presentation can also become, in my approach, clues for questioning.

I don't take an isolated element and draw a conclusion from it. I rather observe a whole.

And above all, I listen to you without any value judgment.

You can come see me having been assaulted, just as if you were the aggressor yourself.

What matters to me is the approach, the willingness to understand, and the responsibility you decide to take on in your own life.

You can also to discover my journey and the approaches that have shaped my practice .

The gensogram: reconstructing the family history

Depending on the situation, we will then work with you genosociogram.

It can be seen as a form of much more detailed genealogical tree.

The goal is not just to know who the father, mother, grandfather or grandmother are.

We will look for everything that can contribute to your family history: pregnancies, births, important dates, deaths, accidents on the road, illnesses present in the family, major events, places, separations, or events that seem to repeat themselves.

We build this tree together with dates, names, stories, and the members of your family.

The goal is to understand How your individual story fits into a broader family history.

If this concept interests you, you can also read the article dedicated to epigenetics, genes, behavior and moods .

Sometimes the cause appears quickly. Sometimes you have to look for it.

It happens that I can very quickly identify a clue that explains the origin of the system you are experiencing today.

In other situations, our first meeting opens an investigation.

For the next appointment, You may have questions to ask your mother, your father, your grandparents or to another member of your environment.

Sometimes you have to go out and look for a photograph. A date. An archive. A place. An event that no one really talked about.

For example, some people notice that important events seem to occur regularly at the same times or around certain dates.

Others discover behaviors or situations that seem to repeat themselves over several generations.

In my reading grid, these are not automatically evidence of transmission. These are tracks to explore.

And what if certain behaviors had a history?

The relationship with food is a particularly interesting example.

In the context of eating disorders, I can focus on the choice of foods, the context in which they are consumed, and the emotions associated with them.

In my approach, certain foods can themselves become clues for questioning.

The lemon, for example, can lead me to explore how a person lives or expresses their anger.

Obviously, this does not mean that a single food can be used to make a diagnosis.

It serves rather as an entrance to a broader story.

Because behind a compulsion, a dietary restriction, an anorexia or bulimia There can be extremely different stories: harassment, break-up, feeling of insecurity, Fear or family history.

And what if history had begun before your birth?

Let's take another example.

Imagine a pregnant grandmother during a period of war, famine, or very severe food shortages.

During pregnancy, her body must adapt to an environment where resources are insufficient.

Research in epigenetics specifically focuses on how this type of exposure can be associated with lasting biological effects.

Studies conducted on populations exposed to famines or major stresses have notably observed associations between certain prenatal exposures, later health, and epigenetic changes.

This does not mean that every difficulty encountered several generations later can automatically be attributed to the event experienced by an ancestor.

In humans, the exact mechanisms of epigenetic transmission between multiple generations remain a field of research.

The brain primarily seeks to protect us.

When we understand the genesis of a situation, we can place it in the context of the person’s or their family’s history.

We can finally begin to give it meaning.

And when a sufficient cause or a sufficiently solid lead is identified, Only then can we work on it.

For me, that is a fundamental difference.

I don't start by trying to immediately eliminate a behavior.

First, I try to understand why the brain or the organism could have put it in place.

Because our brain is constantly trying to protect us.

A mechanism that causes us problems today was sometimes an extremely relevant solution in another context.

The problem is simply that this reading grid may become obsolete.

Finding the cause, then using hypnosis to work on it

Once the story has been identified, I use hypnosis, among other things.

Obviously, we cannot change an event that has actually taken place.

We cannot eliminate war, separation, violence, grief, or a traumatic experience.

On the other hand, we can work on the understanding, interpretation, and use that our brain made of this event.

The goal is to allow the person to retain the mechanisms that are useful to them while, as much as possible, abandoning a response that is no longer suited to their current life.

It is then particularly interesting to observe the evolution: emotions, relationships with others, and the relationship with oneself or the way to approach certain situations.

What is the connection with epigenetics?

Epigenetics studies, in particular, the mechanisms that modulate the activity of our genes without modifying the sequence of our DNA.

Scientific studies have shown that only events such as stress or certain traumas could be associated with modifications of DNA methylation.

The question of the transmission of certain effects of trauma to subsequent generations is also studied, Although the exact biological mechanisms in humans remain debated.

These research projects feed into my approach to examining family histories and the mechanisms of protection.

To go further, you can also watch This RTS report on the biological traces associated with trauma .

Finally, what does a session with me look like?

You arrive with what is causing you pain today.

I start by listening to you.

Then we gradually go back to the beginning: your story, your family, the events, possible repetitions, and the mechanisms of protection and the information that your behavior can give us.

We start from the consequence to try to find the cause.

Once this cause is better understood, we can finally determine what is relevant to work on.
