« Consciously experiencing a justified emotion is liberating not only because the body, which it has been holding since childhood, can then "unload", but above all because its emergence opens our eyes to reality, frees us from our illusions, makes us repressed memories and often leads to the disappearance of our symptoms. That's why living this experience strengthens us and allows us to evolve. When the emotion has finally been felt, understanding that it is justified, it subsides, and we are no longer prisoners of it. True detachment then becomes possible. It is quite different from refoulement. »

« The future of democracy depends on this individual approach. Calling for love and reason will be futile as long as we forbid ourselves from clearing up our feelings as children. It is futile to try to fight hatred with arguments: one must understand where its source is and use tools to extinguish it. »

« Daring to know who deserved their anger, they will find their way into reality without sinking into the blindness of the abused child who must spare his parents and, therefore, needs scapegoats. »
