« In reality, there is something like "maternal love and maternal instinct." We can see this in animals that have not been mistreated by humans. Gems are also born with this instinctive "program" that makes them able to love, protect, support and feed their children, and find joy in it. But we are often dispossessed very early of these instinctive abilities: this is the case when, in our childhood, we are exploited by our parents for the satisfaction of their own needs. »

« ... We adults do not need unconditional love. Not even from our therapist. This is a child's need, impossible to satisfy afterwards. Who has not mourned this loss in his childhood feeds on illusions. Our therapist must show honesty, respect, trust, empathy and understanding towards us, we also need his ability to clarify his own feelings and not to make us bear the weight. And all of that, we can get it. But if someone promises to love us "unconditionally," maybe we should be wary. »
