#392 Eudes Séméria : Écrire pour grandir

Guila Clara Kessous welcomes Eudes Séméria, clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and former vice-president of the French Association of Existential Psychology, to Metamorphosis. Writing is not a neutral act. Putting one's thoughts, beliefs, and secrets down on paper not only creates a trace to be read, but also secretes a textual substance to heal oneself. Indeed, the written translation of one's inner self translates into an act of "catharsis," of evening purge by "ex-pressing," that is, by bringing out from oneself what can undermine us, haunt us, or even destroy us. Write to understand, write to live better, write to grow. In his new book, Eudes Séméria explores how writing can help us overcome the fears that limit us. Episode #392 With Eudes Séméria, I will discuss the following topics (excerpts from the questions): You mention in your book the importance of imagining ourselves as "writing" beings and not as "writers." Could you explain the difference? Why do you think the act of writing is a mystery? Let's return to the practical side of your method. You first recommend writing as a life journey. Could you elaborate? In creativity, what is the Freudian theory of "sublimation"? Are our writing geniuses all "textual obsessives"? What is the "Marguerite Test"? Who is my guest this week, Eudes Séméria? Eudes Séméria is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and former vice-president of the French Association of Existential Psychology. He is also a renowned author, with numerous works published by Albin Michel: Fusional Harassment, The Hidden Sources of Emotional Dependence, Thoughts That Make You Lose Weight, and The Four Fears That Prevent Us from Living. His new book, "Overcoming Their Fears Limit Us," is being released by Albin Michel. Some quotes from the podcast with Eudes Séméria: "The profound philosophical and even anthropological thesis that guides this book from start to finish is the conviction that we are here to grow." "Writing allows us to see our thoughts." "If we want to grow, then we grow; we don't try to avoid the obstacles that demonstrate our refusal to grow." "How can we claim to tell stories if we don't know our own?" #eudessemeria #editionsalbinmichel #write #psychology Subscribe to the wonderful Metamorphosis Newsletter here to stay connected: https://www.metamorphosepodcast.com/ Where are you in your metamorphosis?
