GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French term or phrase: vous faire recevoir,
The "thérapie" refers to being sinful, full of sin etc...


La thérapie consistera à vous faire recevoir, de nous faire revenir dans notre axe lorsque nous sommes désaxés, nous avons perdu notre arbre de vie, notre centre vital, notre orientation.

I am not sure how to translate this, should it be literal, and if so, to receive what? Or is there a better expression in English?

Thank you.

agree  Tony M: Yes, of course: fairly common 'reflexive' construction, it's surely obvious that 'vous' is the object. / I belive the idea here is almost more one of 'being accepted'

Explanation:
The therapy is/consists of getting you to receive.....

Yes, there is no object but could it be in the Christian sense of receiving the Saviour, Holy Spirit etc.?

disagree  Tony M: It's obvious that 'vous' is the object, and the verb is being used in a reflexive sense, as explained by Liz.

The therapy starts off with a warm welcome...


Explanation:
I agree with Libby Ormiston and others who commented along the same lines
Liz's answer is on the right track but it still sounds strange that a "therapy can welcome you" rather than a therapist/team of therapists

Please see my example sentence

Example sentence(s):
  • The therapy starts off with a warm welcome, a therapy that is going to get us back on track..."

neutral  Tony M: I think this is over-translation; there is nothing in the s/t to suggest a "warm welcome", or indeed "starts off" — and this level of description sounds out of step with the rest of the list.
