From the desk of Marine Sélénée
Sparks of Inspiration
From a very young age, Marine has always had a little notebook by her side, either on her desk, nightstand, or in her bag. That little pinkish notebook with a cute, heart lock has evolved over the years, but her passion for writing and sharing her thoughts with openness and authenticity remains the same.
appreciation
You already have everything you need to be happy and fulfilled in this moment. How does that resonate with you? Do you believe it? Or are you rolling your eyes, thinking, Marine is nice, but completely wrong? Take a moment to sit with this. Have a real reality check right now. Do you have food in your fridge? A roof over your head? A job that pays the bills? Friends? Family? Health?
Perfect upbringing
When everything seems perfect—loving family, supportive parents, the right conditions—but something still feels off, that's often a sign it’s time for a 'Family Constellation'.
love
We all need Love. There is no way a newborn can develop healthily without Love. And what happens when Love is not part of the picture? We try to find Love somewhere else like in food, alcohol, sex, self sabotage, violence, medication, escape, drugs, and the list goes on. Whatever will make our body feel whole and complete, even for a minute, we will try for the sake of Love.
Stop Believing Your Thoughts—Start Trusting Your Body!
Our thoughts can be misleading. They’re shaped by past experiences, societal expectations, and our moods from day to day. This internal chatter often leans towards negativity, filling our minds with doubts like "I’m not good enough," "I can’t do this," or "I’ll never succeed." But these thoughts aren’t facts; they’re just stories we tell ourselves.
freeing yourself from the mother
In Family Constellations Therapy, we often discuss the irresponsible or abusive parent. But what about the mother who seems perfect? The one who presents herself well, is admired by everyone, runs a successful business, is beautiful, and has a lovely relationship with her husband. She’s like a picture of perfection. But what's the subconscious impact on her children?
good parent
What does it mean to be a good parent? It’s when your children feel free to be selfish with their emotions and feelings. Even as adults, their emotions matter more than yours. This doesn’t mean they’re spoiled—it means you did an amazing job staying in your role as a parent without expecting your children to manage your emotions.
