Here is an insightful account of the effects of silence on a child to the point of interfering with her freedom throughout her whole life. At the time of her mother’s disappearance, this woman remembers the family burden that hindered the expression of her homosensitivity, the sentimental wanderings that followed, her inability to say anything. Experiencing religious healing sessions in vain then an insufficient first therapist, allowed her to face her own questions. Then the time of a meeting with a therapist who has finished opening the door, and nothing is sealed any more.
