I remember one individual session I had with Ermanno. I was lying down on the mattress and he began to press with both hands on my chest. I remained there immobile, passive, motionless, feeling squashed and with no reaction of any kind . Then I saw tears were falling down Ermanno’s cheeks and he said : “Michele, please, don’t let yourself be crushed and oppressed by anyone anymore in your life “. It deeply moved me and I started crying. It was a difficult period of my life, my wife had suddenly abandoned me after 18 years of marriage. He helped me to realized that I had to respond to life’s difficulties and hurts and not keep playing the victim. I was in therapy for 8 years, often challenging but strong and beautiful years.
