I welcome in my family soul the strength of the Olive Tree. It symbolizes peace, longevity and wisdom, becoming the sacred symbol of my family psyche.

For four decades, I have been making my way in psychology and transgenerational studies. In my work, I see family inheritances not as burdens, but as fruits that wait for the right moment to be processed.

Like the olive, which passes through the press to reveal its purest oil, our heritages, when welcomed, are transmuted. What was dense becomes sap; What was bitter becomes oil—the food that heals and the light that illuminates the present.
