Turning Inner Fears into Personal Self-Respect
Translated from Ukrainian Read the original →
What do I do as a psychologist, and who am I?
I transform limiting fears into new qualities of personality, which open up a person’s own POWER to them. I am a “guide” for the traveller who is looking for an original way to live themselves. I am the founder of an extreme laboratory of mysteries and adventures – the White Wind studio, where group and individual sessions are held:
Rebirthing/holotropic breathwork, or breathing practices for freeing yourself from ancestral trauma;
Personal consultations on the possibilities of transforming a person’s inner and outer living space;
The psychology of subpersonalities, or the “Dialogue with Voices” method
Family constellations or spiritual practices;
Art practices, or overcoming inner fears
Human Design.

How do I do it?
I mirror – I reflect a person back, giving them themselves again. It is like in childhood: “making faces / mimicking / giving it back”. I also test for strength and honesty, and set off provocative processes that develop and deepen and, of course… Sometimes outrageous, sometimes gentle.
Techniques
Personally oriented family constellations, holotropic work/rebirthing, dialogue with voices / psychodrama, retreats/vipassana, contact improvisation (“CI”), precise astrology/natal horoscope, art practices, transpersonal meditative wanderings and shamanic practices.
The goal
Improving the quality of life. Sometimes that calls for removing something, sometimes for going deeper towards greater happiness and effectiveness. Stepping beyond the familiar, into new territories within and/or without. Somewhere out there, there is more life. On the territory of clear goals.
What is the criterion of work well done?
When, after a seminar or a meeting, you want to live more than you did before. I love it when some people feel joy or pride in themselves. A feeling arises that their life is exactly as it should be, although before our meeting it seemed that something was wrong / something needed fixing and somebody needed curing. And then suddenly – click – and “everything” falls into place: I am in my place and in my time, I am fine, unreasonably fine. And from such joy comes relief, a state of liberation. The inner strength that went into brooding over the past and resisting it is freed all at once, and a desire appears to act and to create the future…
About me
Career guidance and where it began. I have been counselling for “umpteen years”, since primary school age; that image of the “teacher-oracle” took shape in my tender years, and it gave me a particular reputation and professional direction. Ever since, wherever I turn up – “the therapy goes on”. So I prefer to look at life itself as a useful adventure. And let the therapy – development – evolution happen. I choose to help it along.
Education:
An officially practising psychologist. I have devoted myself to studying spiritual practices in different corners of the planet. A specialist in transpersonal practices, integrative breathing psychotechniques and methods of altered states of consciousness. Every year I run multi-day seminar-mysteries in depth and intensive psychology in natural surroundings (sea, mountains, forest). The seminars are held away from cities and stuffy lecture rooms, where you get a unique chance to be yourself, without masks or social roles. Author of numerous articles on the psychology of relationships between men and women, overcoming inner fears, and developing self-respect. Interests: mountaineering/hill walking, diving, paragliding, studying shamanic practices on different continents.
