French term or phrase: ...il se sent en confiance...
Il est aussi très perturbé quand il doit rester seul avec la psychologue, pour respecter les conditions de testing, il accepte la situation quand même,
mais l’inquiétude persiste pendant un certain temps. Finalement il se sent en confiance et il coopère bien aux épreuves proposées.

Thanks for your help.
