PSYCHO-FICTION, L’Estime de Soi

Stéphane is a young man in his thirties. As our fiction begins, he’s restlessly waiting for the visit of a young woman whom he likes a lot: Sophie. She visits him and asks him for invitation cards for a party: Stéphane is a graphic designer He has ordered a meal from a caterer, hoping she will accept to share it with him. This simple situation is, in fact, a real martyrdom for Stéphane, because he suffers from lack of self-confidence, which makes his relation with others a daily suffering. When Sophie arrives, she’s curious and available, Stéphane, in spite of his desire to create a relationship with her can’t help standing back and depreciating himself, up to a point where Sophie leaves disheartened and disappointed, without him even being able to invite her for lunch. Stéphane, saddened by his incapacity to surmount his self-consciousness decides to call the doctor who followed him during the nervous breakdown that he went through a few years ago. It’s him who’ll advise him to consult CHRISTOPHE ANDRÉ.
