Hugo Verbrugge: There are masters who shine for a moment: during one of the training days, when I was in my first year, Liliana Perrone shares her knowledge on constructionism and constructivism. During this teaching, I ask her a question about what might be hiding behind a certain behavior that I have already observed. She guessed that I was talking about myself, without mentioning it. Rather than answering me directly, Liliana suggests that she and I play out the situation; she in the role of the intervener and me in the role of the person I was talking about. For this game, I played the role of “Pierre.”
And this is where the magic happened: in two or three questions, my representation of the situation had changed and I was deeply touched by what Liliana had just revealed. I could barely remember my previous representation.
When one of my fellow trainees asked a question about what had just been played, having also understood that I was talking about myself in this role-play and naming me directly, Liliana began her response with: “We are talking about Pierre here, it was a role play“, then she continued.
That day, I was both changed by the exchange I had with Liliana and touched, inspired by the care, the finesse, the humanism with which Liliana preserved who I was.
