« I found it so abominable that I determined to intervene upstream: you have to work with the children. Faced with the frightening and impossible of doing nothing for adults because it's too late, I said to myself: we have to take care of the children, before the beings get to this point! »

« Indeed, people who go to psychotherapy because they suffer know consciously what. They talk about this suffering. But this habit they have of suffering, they hold on to it without their knowledge, they do not want to leave it. They would like to leave it and at the same time they do not want it, because that is the way it is: to live is to suffer. But too much is too much. They then come to therapy because this suffering is inhibiting them and preventing them from developing. Unfortunately, they want to do it, and all the work is to put into words all that they hold dear, so that it is out of date, that they no longer need it, and that the desire is renewed towards a whole other direction enjoying suffering. That's what psychotherapy is all about. Psychoanalysis is more complex, since we are not aiming for a cure, we are not aiming for something known. In psychoanalysis, one goes back the history of one's body-heart or mind-language. It's all language. »

« It's the baby that creates the mom. Before, she can say whatever she wants: "I'll do this, I'll do this." The baby is there: she completely changes her mind. So there's no point in programming. »
