Many thanks Gentlemen :-) This hypothesis is larvae is quite knew to me. Never thought of it. But it offers new tracks indeed. << one of this type needs to be confronted and absorbed / ... / You can even use the autosuggestion techniques from IIH >> I read the portion of IIH dedicated to autosuggestion, but I somewhat fail to see how I can apply it in this case as a single tool: I guess I'll have to understand what I'm dealing with and how to handle it before going through the autosuggestion. <<Bring it back inside yourself and deal with it.>> Guess it partially answers my previous point. But how do you do that ? Vizualisation ? Do you know the steps gone through by the other people in the same situation ? One thing is sure : Were your hypothesis to be correct, I would hardly see the benefit of using a shield for something I created myself. Many thanks again! NB Rawn : can you give me a hint ?
