Carole Bouquet confides in her years of therapy: "The press called me crazy": Current Woman The MAG

On the occasion of the release of Series Arte titled In therapy, in which she plays a psychologist, Carole Bouquet confided in the “Need for crutches” that she had. In the columns of It, from Friday, January 29, 2021, the 63-year-old actress opened up about her weaknesses that prompted her to consult. "It had never crossed my mind before my thirties, when all of a sudden I had nightmares. I was starting to be very involved in The Voice of the Child (an association that acts for the defense and listening to the child, Editor's note), which has been my daily life for over thirty years. What I heard was so violent ", she remembered.

"At the time", the press treated her "crazy": "I was told that I made up stories, I received horrible letters", continued the partner of Philippe Sereys de Rothschild. Despite her desire to embark on a psychoanalysis, the actress regretted not always finding the right ear attentive to her ailments: “Sometimes we stay out of politeness, out of shyness. But as soon as you sit down, lie down, again, you know right away if you're going to be okay. " After consulting more specialists "tough" or more "dry", the former wife of Jacques Leibowitch (deceased in March 2020) understands that she needs "sharing, of gentleness, of someone who stretches out his hand to you, accompanies you".

This psychologist who really helped Carole Bouquet

She then meets the psychoanalyst François Roustang who was decisive for her: "I didn't want to disturb him, I almost broke into his life, his office, shortly before he died (in November 2016, editor's note)". With him, she lives a “Amazing experience.” “We sat down and he didn't say anything to me for half an hour. Roustang didn't do anything and I didn't hurt anymore. The listening and the benevolence were such that it was enough to free me from a weight, to relieve me", assures the one who "suffers from neurological pain following a fall".

Involved with children in distress, Carole Bouquet then made a link with Camille Kouchner's book in which the author accuses her former father-in-law Olivier Duhamel of incest. "The situation has changed extraordinarily, look at the bomb that fell recently. I've been following these files for thirty-five years, each time we take one step forward, then three back. These are such painful and complex subjects. Now the situation is incomparable to what I experienced at the start. The proof: we write and we hear. It wouldn't have been possible a few years ago ", rejoiced the one who now speaks with the trees.
