#143 Marie-France et Emmanuel Ballet de Coquereaumont : Vos parents ne sont plus vos parents

In Métamorphose, Anne Ghesquière welcomes Marie-France and Emmanuel Ballet de Coquereaumont, Jungian-inspired psychotherapists and renowned experts on the inner child for over 30 years, authors of best-selling books. We will discuss their latest book, "Vos parents ne sont plus vos parents" (Your Parents Are No Longer Your Parents). As an adult, is a fair relationship with one's parents possible? Do we remain eternal children in the face of our parents? Is a free, peaceful, and honest relationship possible? A fascinating episode with two top-flight therapists! - Episode #143 In this episode with Marie-France and Emmanuel Ballet de Coquereaumont, I will address the following topics: Why do we, as adults, need to reconcile with our inner child? Why do we often suffer from a difficult relationship with our parents as adults? What about the "protectiveness of parents" and the hierarchical relationship that are the socially accepted norm? Why do you think there is so much confusion at the "heart of parenting"? The question of parenthood remains a taboo subject? How do we "build a family" and how can we avoid Little House on the Prairie syndrome? Why do you say that the parental role ends in adulthood? Don't we always remain the child of our parents? Why talk about ex-parents and ex-children? What are the three dimensions of parenting? And why should we avoid confusing them? At what point in life does a parent become an ex-parent? You say that (except in extreme cases) permanently breaking away from one's parent is never the solution! Would it be more appropriate to mitigate family dysfunction by growing up in a larger environment? In a tribe, for example? What are the childhood trances you are talking about? Have you identified four families of trances? Can you give us some key examples of behavioral dysfunctions or signs of overadaptation in adulthood that stem from our childhood? What types of behavior should we avoid with our parents as adults? And what about parents toward their children? Can we, and how, break free from the eternal adapted child attitude toward our parents and make peace with this inner child? How can we awaken and pacify ourselves and become our "best ally," through self-parenting, for example? How can we be reborn or born to ourselves? What does a peaceful, readjusted, and whole relationship with our parents ultimately look like? Who are my guests this week, Marie-France and Emmanuel Ballet de Coquereaumont?

Some quotes from the podcast with Marie-France and Emmanuel Ballet de Coquereaumont: "The family is simply the initial framework for a greater experience that goes beyond parentage." "We enter the world through the family, but the experience of Love must be had outside the family." "Sometimes, in a family, demands and missions take precedence over Love." "I often felt like I came into my family to save my mother." "Women should encourage children to be who they are, not what we want them to be..." "We believe the family is a wonderful place for growth." "Many families are dysfunctional, and guilt doesn't help." "The more a family recognizes that it is dysfunctional, the more functional it becomes!" "Listening and paying attention to each member will reset the relationship within the family." "The role of parent is limited."
