Marie
Challenges she is proud of:
"Survive ! Surviving my birth, the two times when, as a baby, my father found me in respiratory arrest, suffocating under my comforter..."
"Embodying my body and matter, overcoming my health problems."
"Healing my sexual abuse wound (molestation when I was a baby, 9 months old)."
"But above all, to dare to follow my own path, to become a florologist, to create florology, to open a support company, to train in applied neuroscience, to develop my trauma release protocols, to write my book and create my Bach flower medicine card deck."
"To reach an emotional, physical and social state where I am truly free... like in the song "Il Est Libre Max" »
"Nothing is impossible, everything depends on healing your memories..."
How did she manage to turn those bad pages ?
"I gave myself the time I needed to grieve. I took a lot of time to go through my suffering, to go down inside myself, to understand the layers of the mille feuilles inside me, to track down the pain and transmute it into gold, into self-affirmation, into presence to myself and then to others. To come out of sacrifice and into giving."
"And then now, because I'm resolutely staring into the future, the past no longer exists, only what I sow through my actions in the present matters to enable me to reap what I aspire to in the future."
The disciplines to get there :
"I took my time, I studied the laws of the universe, I fed on Stoic philosophy. I dip into Marcus Aurelius when I feel myself sinking."
"And I cry when I have to. I go walking a lot in the forest..."
"I feel good about myself and my body, and I know I look younger than my age. The look on people's faces makes me laugh when I tell them my age."
"Now, the physical aspect is a real family atavism and I'm caught in this paradox of wanting a perfect body for myself (and I don't) and not imposing on myself the sporting and dietary discipline to achieve it. So I'm caught in an in-between position: "I'm still okay, it could be better, but it's not that bad...".
These were "normal" actions for her, but considered unbelievable by those around her:
"Going on trips alone, fending for myself on a daily basis, studying new concepts one night and teaching them the next..."
"Reaching a plateau of emotional detachment and very peaceful alignment."
"Drama no longer exists in my life !"
Her testimony :
"Christophe is a very gentle photographer, full of kindness and care.
He is very pedagogical and takes the time to explain his way of proceeding in order to create a climate of trust and human warmth.
He knows how to adapt to make things run as smoothly and naturally as possible.
He punctuates his shoots with discussions and questions to take the focus off the camera and become as natural as possible.
Photo shoots with him are a real moment of sharing and trust, of laughter and confidences...
A real pleasure !"
