How Transfert Quantique ® came into being
On a day in March 2012, I welcomed a young 20-year-old woman into my practice. Her long hair hid a pretty face with fine features and her red lips shone with lip gloss. Justine was rather tall and her exceptional intelligence contrasted with her childlike shyness. She used precise language when describing her symptoms. Justine explained that over the last three years, she had had great difficulty facing the outside world. She had repeated fainting spells without explanation. She no longer accepted feeling stuck in a prison, with invisible bars, that condemned her youth. I tried to decode her suffering as much as I could, by asking pointed questions. She suffered from agoraphobia, and medical phobias (medicine, hospitals, and everything related). She could not distance herself from her mother without losing consciousness. I was confronted with a real problem and could not use my usual tools with Justine. She could not stand being touched. Physical contact provoked fainting spells, anxiety attacks, muscular contractions, and spasmophilia. She felt like she was suffocating and this again sometimes led to fainting. In just the last few years Justine had developed a depression syndrome that was difficult to endure without medication. Despite our exploratory sessions, I could not find the origin nor a solution. I felt extremely frustrated.
Several months later, upon their request, I brought the young patient’s parents into my office. Maybe they could offer more information, and help in understanding this strange infliction that their daughter suffered from? Without any therapeutic results or new information to explain this situation, I had reached a therapeutic block, I didn’t know how to access Justine’s unconscious mind. Yet, I had to find a solution because failure wasn’t an option. I thought about how to solve Justine’s mysterious ailments, after each full day of consultations and especially each night before sleep. I had to find a solution, and I would find it. It was constantly at the forefront of my mind.
Two months later, EUREKA! I was awoken one early morning by an illuminating idea that could finally be the solution to understanding Justine’s baffling ailments. Everything was clear in my mind. Seemingly, I had discovered a new technique to access information deeply buried in the patient’s unconscious. I only had to put my theory into practice. I knocked on my fellow psychoanalyst and colleague, Sandrine ’s door. She has been working by my side for many years and came from the same educational background. We have an almost twelve years age difference, and I recognize my younger self in her, with the same passion for our profession. We entirely trust each other and know we can fully count on one another. Her office was right next to mine. Whenever I have moved my practice’s office space, she always followed, so that our collaboration could grow and endure. Sandrine is a Freudian psychoanalyst who has observed my practice from a distance, and with true objectivity. That very morning I briefly explained to her the young patient’s case and most of all how I proposed to treat her. As Sandrine had participated with me in Systemic Constellations (whose origins are mentioned later in the text) it was easier to explain it to her than I had expected. Her eyes spa
