We all carry a story.
A story made up of events, encounters, choices, joys, wounds, and transformations.
Yet, sometimes parts of this story remain scattered, unfinished, or difficult to connect.

Telling one’s story gives it new coherence.
It means taking the time to look at one’s journey in a different light.
To bring out its underlying themes.
To recognize what has shaped us.
And sometimes to pass on this precious legacy to those who will come after us.

A life story is not merely a record of the past.
It is a process that allows us to make sense of our experiences, to rediscover our place in our own story, and to become its full author.

For a story that can be told is often a story that can be healed.

Intergenerational and Transgenerational Transmission
Every family carries stories - some told, some unspoken.
Life storytelling transforms this implicit transmission into conscious, deliberate speech.
By putting their story into words:
• the elder becomes an active participant in what they pass on
• descendants receive a contextualized, human, and embodied narrative
• certain gray areas can be shed light on without judgment
• continuities and breaks find their place
• the bond between generations is strengthened through mutual understanding
⤞ It’s not about saying everything, nor about conveying a definitive truth, but about giving a voice to one’s journey.

For whom
Do you sometimes feel like you’re reliving the same situations ;
Do you feel like you’re carrying a burden whose origin you don’t know ;
Do you find yourself unable to understand certain reactions, choices, or connections ;
Or do you simply feel that a part of your story is finally asking to be heard ?

This is for people who wish to:
• revisit significant experiences in a new light
• pass on a family history put into words to their descendants
• share experiences, values, and points of reference
• offer a personal narrative that goes beyond dates and facts

Why Work with Life Stories
We build our identity through the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
Certain experiences can solidify these narratives, making them painful, confusing, or limiting.
Narrative therapy provides a space to:
• put one’s experiences into words
• gain perspective on events or repetitive patterns
• identify the values, resources, and choices that run through one’s life
• give certain episodes from the past a more appropriate place
• open up new ways of telling one’s story, more in line with who the person hopes to become
⤞ It’s not about rewriting the facts, but about changing the perspective through which they’re viewed.

My role in this process
My role is to:
• provide a safe space for attentive listening
• facilitate the articulation of the story without judgment or interpretation
• help clarify what matters and what is worth passing on
• support a narrative that remains true to the person and their intention to share their story

I fully respect each person’s freedom to choose what to share and what to keep to themselves.

A Free, Mindful, and Human Approach
This life story project can be:
• a family legacy project
• an independent journey of personal reflection
• a one-time experience or an ongoing support process 
• a complement to existing therapeutic or medical care, with the consent of the relevant professionals
• a complement to other forms of support

This is neither a medical treatment nor a forced process of coming to terms with the past, but rather a personal and voluntary choice.
I do not provide medical diagnoses, nor do I replace psychiatric or psychological care when it is necessary.

How does the process work ?
The process takes place in a confidential and supportive setting.
The first session is an introductory meeting: it allows us to lay the groundwork for your project and clarify your request. From that moment on, we begin the process of crafting your narrative.
Each session lasts 2 hours.
To ensure continuity in our work, our sessions are ideally spaced no more than 3 weeks apart, to give you time to reflect between each one.
In the meantime, I work with what you’ve shared and present a draft to you at the next session. You can add to it, make changes, or provide clarifications at any time.
Together, we choose the topics to explore during each session. Support materials may be suggested as needed (timelines, metaphors, photos, symbolic objects, memorable experiences, etc.).
The number of sessions varies depending on the nature and scope of your project.
A final session concludes the process: we take stock of the journey we’ve taken and analyze the impact of this narrative work on your current life.

Location: In person in Castres-Gironde or via videoconference. I can also travel if necessary (within a 30-kilometer radius).

⤞ The person receiving support remains the protagonist of their own story: they choose what they wish to explore, transform, or preserve.
This story can remain oral, be written down, or be shared in the format of the person’s choosing (digital or printed book).
