Myriam, why did you choose the “sex” course as a professional career?
The human relationship as a whole has always fascinated me. My professional career has always been in this direction: educator and then specialist educator for 15 years, I then trained in positive psycho-sexology and couple therapy . I have always been intrigued by the subject and convinced that a Satisfying intimacy was integral to a fulfilling mental, emotional, and physical life. I am very sensitive to the well-being of people.
Sexuality is still a difficult subject to discuss today. For many, the sources of information are the entourage, social networks and the Internet. Unfortunately, much of the information is approximate, devoid of benevolence, inappropriate, encouraging pure performance, guilt-ridden or simply incorrect.
My vision of the profession of sexologist is to offer a space for words, a benevolent listening, without judgment or critical look . This is focused on your uniqueness, your story and your individuality: expectations, needs, objectives, blocking points or difficulties; all at an adapted and personalized pace.
Myriam, what is your mission as a "Sexologist and Therapist for couples"?
At the practice, I invite each person accompanied to write their own sexual history : everyone is steeped in their upbringing (family, cultural, religious, etc.), with their share of prejudices and a priori ; in particular on the roles and behaviors that each other must have in matters of intimacy and sexuality. Moreover, everyone finds himself more or less influenced by the society in which he evolves, by its dictates, its norms which bind us and impose on us what this intimacy "should be".
My main mission is to deconstruct all of this to leave room for the freedom to choose and build one's own sexuality , according to one's needs, desires, fantasies, without any shame or guilt.
I like to unravel these dictates, these norms of society, with which we must evolve. Each person, each body is unique and no sexual and/or love story is identical. There are no norms when it comes to sexuality; I therefore accompany each person individually to discover, create, live their sexuality, and to assume it. Because it's what makes her happy.
