And if your biggest obstacle... was yourself? Our inner struggles shape our choices, our relationships, and our mental well-being. But how to identify them and, above all, how to transform them?

In this conference, Alexis Mercier, a professor at the UCM Teaching and Research Center, guides you through a deep exploration of inner conflicts and their impacts. Through concrete examples and practical tools, discover how to go from being your worst enemy to becoming your best ally.

In the program :

🔹 Introduction – Understanding the Mechanics of Inner Conflict

Why do we sometimes sabotage ourselves? Where do our blockages and limiting thoughts come from? This introduction raises questions and presents the foundations of this conference to better understand the origin and impact of our internal conflicts.

🔹 1. Famous conflicts – Lessons to be learned from cinema and the arts

What do Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, the Joker and Batman, or even some of the greatest historical conflicts have in common? Through these striking examples, we will see how the inner tensions and oppositions that we see in films, music, and the arts in general reflect what is happening in the collective consciousness… and what they teach us about ourselves.

🔹 2. Mental health – A reflection of our inner struggles

Anxiety, stress, self-destructive thoughts… Mental health is a central issue in our modern society and is clearly on the rise in most countries around the world. How do our internal conflicts influence our psychological well-being? How to calm this inner war to regain balance?

🔹 3. The mistakes of the past – The impact of yesterday's conflicts on our present

How do the conflicts of the current world find their origin in unresolved conflicts of the past? We will study historical facts that explain what is happening today. And like these conflicts, our personal and collective wounds also leave marks. How do past events – familial, social, or historical – shape our behaviors today? And above all, how to free ourselves from them?

🔹 4. Make peace with oneself – Become your best ally

The greatest challenge: reconciling with oneself. How to accept one's shadow parts, transform weaknesses into strengths, and evolve towards a lasting inner balance? This last part will provide you with concrete keys to build a healthy relationship with yourself.
