And in particular a psychoanalyst. It is supposed to heal wounded souls, souls who have had trauma. He’s not supposed to create any. I went there with complete confidence.” Things then degenerated quite quickly, from the start of the experience. The professional began by making her lie down on the ground, telling her that her body was heavy: “At that point, he started putting his hand under my sweater and touching my breasts, then his hand in my pants, on my penis. I had an instinct to flee and I told myself that this was not normal.”
