Olivier Delacroix goes to meet Bernard. This father was under the influence of a guru for 22 years. He agreed to tell his story in this episode of the podcast “Dans les yeux d'Olivier” produced by Europe 1 Studio. Just married, Bernard and his wife quickly encountered difficulties within their relationship. United by God and very religious, the newlyweds absolutely want to find a solution to put the pieces back together. During a professional seminar, Bernard and his wife are seduced by a couple, who promise to put them in specialized therapy. The man then presents himself as a world-renowned psychologist. Bernard and his wife therefore give in without suspicion and agree to lead the extraordinary sessions proposed. This is the beginning of the nightmare for the couple: they have just fallen under the influence of two charlatans. During these therapies, Bernard must not sleep for several days, eat very little and lie down for hours. The false psychologist uses manipulation, humiliation and a method called “induced false memories” on Bernard. A way of controlling patients by making them imagine scenes of violence experienced during their childhood. Under this domination, the couple had to spend nearly 700,000 euros. But the day the manipulator attacks Bernard's daughter, then aged eight, the father decides to file a complaint despite the potential reprisals. The false therapist is then sentenced to a one-year suspended prison sentence and his wife, a six-month suspended sentence. In this episode of the podcast “Dans les yeux d'Olivier” produced by Europe 1 Studio, Bernard talks about this painful past, his fight to get over it and his desire to raise awareness among as many people as possible.
