Falling in love is easy: it’s a consuming flame, a passion, and an explosion of colors.

But to have such a love last? Ah! That’s an art form!

How do you rediscover each other, and fall in love again?

How do you re-choose each other again, to be embers after the flame, and not to become ashes?

How to survive infidelity? How to survive menopause?

And the routine that puts you in a state of boredom, is it a habit?

These are questions, I asked myself (and I still ask myself), one after another…

Working with these changes is a must for someone like me, a lover of the long term, of the long stormy crossing of the ocean, with its storms and calms, with its troughs and its perfect waves.

I deeply believe that a human relationship is an extraordinary adventure that is worth exploring, savoring, and experiencing. But I also believe that to be able to live to thrive during this adventure, you must first know and tame yourself: what are my needs? My desires? My limits? My fears? Am I happy with myself? And why? Would I choose myself as a partner? As a friend?

By being aware of my different facets, I learn to relate to others by putting forward who I am, not my facade. I give myself every chance to be seen and loved as I wish. And I discover the other for who they are, not for who I expect them to be.

I believe that each of us is capable of finding happiness, pleasure, and satisfaction in the small and big things in life, despite all the obstacles in our way.

Therapy, individual or relational, is an extraordinary way to better overcome these obstacles and to get to know oneself and the other.
