Today Maïté says she has been transformed. For years, she suffered from her physical complexes and from this body that she did not like:
“I found him deformed, too big, and it was an obstacle for my romantic encounters. I had a click, things had to change“.
It was two years ago, the young woman decided to consult Coralie Hic, photo-therapist, specially trained in this discipline. Their work together began with a series of interviews during which Maïté confided in her physique which made her suffer so much, which prevented her from living fully, but also on her perception of the gaze of others:
Finding myself naked, in my house, in front of someone else’s gaze, was unthinkable a few months ago. It’s a lot of emotions all the same, pride and the desire to move forward. Now it’s love I have for myself, which I didn’t have before.

After ten sessions, the young woman learned to love her body and above all to accept it. Like others before her, phototherapy allowed her to become aware of her share of beauty and femininity:
“There are really lots of profiles, lots of different complexes. Physical complexes, in relation to their belly, their buttocks, their thighs. I also had a lot of complexes about teeth, women who lost teeth, who have braces, that’s very complicated too“, explains the photo therapist based in Harcourt in the Eure, who also helps women who have to accept a “new” body, following an accident or an illness.
That day, she receives Manon with whom she has been working for several months on her physical complexes born after her pregnancy. These sessions were a real liberation for the young mother.
“She made me have this trigger that I had actually been waiting for for years, this lack of self-confidence that I had long before my pregnancy, and the impression of being inferior to others..” confides the young woman.
When we accompany women, or people, we will rather rely on their emotions, how to highlight them, what we can work on, and remove the barriers. If at the end, she tells me that she thinks she’s beautiful in her photo, we’ve won everything!
