Abstract

“I am in my mother's belly. I feel marvellously well! She is speaking to me and I understand what she is saying! I don't understand the words, of course, but, beyond or below the words I know what she is saying and even what she is thinking: I am in her and she is in me! She is happy to carry me in her belly. She is laughing. And I, I am “speaking” to her: I answer her by hitting her belly with my feet. And she understands me!” This is not a dream. It's a memory, also a lived experience undergone recently through self-hypnosis during a group session of psychotherapy led by Barry Goodfield, director of the Video-Gestalt Institute and the Therapy Centre of Marin, near San Francisco, in California.
