Abusive Dynamics and the Restoration of the Self.
An abuser doesn’t seek healing.
He seeks compliance.
He feeds on attention, emotional intensity, and control. He uses kindness and repackages it as weakness.

Over time, you begin doubting yourself.
Maybe you’re too emotional.
Too sensitive. Too much.

That’s exactly what the abuser needs — the more confused and unsure you become, the easier it is to control you.
Confusion, contradictions, and chaos are his natural environment.

He may shower you with praise laced with subtle insults. He’ll call you the best thing that ever happened to him, and moments later treat you like a burden.
And through all of it, you feel everything — the love, the guilt, the hope, the pain.
It’s an emotional whiplash.

The abuser, however, feels almost nothing in the way you do. But he’s always watching, always calculating what will keep him in power.
Manipulation isn’t an occasional tactic.
It’s how he moves through the world.

A Journey to Harmony: My Practice in Building Meaningful Relationships
As a transpersonal guide, I embrace the calling to support those seeking harmony and conscious relationships. Over the years, I’ve listened to countless women share their stories of love, partnership, and their search for meaning within it. These stories are more than personal experiences, they reveal profound truths about how we connect with ourselves and others. They’ve shaped my reflections on what it means to embody true partnership between men and women.

One young woman came to me, just beginning her journey to find a partner. She shared how, on a first date, the man suggested splitting the restaurant bill. It wasn’t about the money, it was the feeling that he wasn’t willing to take on even a small responsibility. “I felt unseen,” she said. Her words struck me: when a man says, “let’s split it,” it’s not about fairness. It’s about fear. The fear of giving generously, fear of stepping up. In those moments, a woman senses not equality, but the absence of support.

Another client, a mature woman, described how she’d grown stronger than ever beside her partner, but it came at a cost. “I handle everything,” she said, “but where’s the space for my softness, my femininity?” Her story showed me that a strong woman often mirrors a man’s weaknesses. A joyful woman, however, reflects his courage. When a man shies away from responsibility, a woman is forced to carry more, losing touch with her inner essence.

These stories, and many others from my practice, inspired my understanding of what makes relationships vibrant and harmonious.

A mature man doesn’t ask why he needs a woman, he knows. He sees her energy not as a resource or a prize, but as a force that inspires him to grow and unlock his potential. He doesn’t fear responsibility, seek validation, or bargain for love. His inner strength makes him abundant, able to give without expecting anything in return.

A woman, in turn, responds to respect with respect, to care with deep tenderness, to generosity with a love as vast as an ocean. She is a living mirror, reflecting all that a man carries within: his strength, his generosity, his maturity. But to see this power in her, he must be honest with himself. When a man seeks not a partner but a “mother” to love him unconditionally, he avoids true growth. A real partner is an equal ally, someone who fosters mutual growth.

☀️ In my practice, I help women and men find this inner foundation, so you can build relationships where you feel alive, loved, and free.
☀️ Together, we explore what holds you back—fears, old beliefs, illusions.
☀️ As a guide, I lead you to see yourself and others not as a source of needs, but as an opportunity for growth and connection.
☀️ My practice offers a space where you can shed protective armor, rediscover your inner strength, and open a new door to harmony—with yourself and those closest to you.
☀️ I’m here to walk with you on this path to conscious, vibrant relationships.
☀️ If you feel your relationships or inner world could use clarity, I’m here to support you.

10/22/2025

People-pleasing isn’t just a habit of trying to make everyone happy. It’s a defense mechanism, born in childhood, when we learned to suppress our own needs just to keep love and approval. Over time, this mechanism becomes a trap.

As children, we were taught that being ourselves is dangerous. Tears meant we were too much. Anger was scary. Desires were selfish. Our emotions were rejected, and we learned to stay silent, to give, to absorb the pain of others, just to be loved.

As adults, this turns into a familiar pattern: the rescuer, the people-pleaser. We rush to heal others, hoping it will keep us from facing our own pain.

In my practice, I often see clients become what I call an “emotional gas station”, a bucket into which everyone pours their negativity.
It may feel noble, but the cost is high: you deplete yourself while others remain broken.
The bitter truth? You aren’t actually healing anyone.
You’re just creating space for others to stay stuck, while you slowly burn out.

Healing begins with awareness.
When you understand the roots of your behavior, the desperate need to “rescue” or please others starts to dissolve.
What replaces it is clarity: you realize that for years, you were simply a container for other people’s emotions.

Guilt gives way to anger. Not destructive anger, but protective, conscious anger. This is the anger that gives you the right to say no, the right to be selfish, the right to honor your own needs. This is part of the Shadow, the part of yourself that must be acknowledged and integrated in order to become whole and step out of the role of victim and pleaser.

And that’s when a new chapter begins.
Those who were used to relying on your people-pleasing may feel anxious around you.
You might feel that anxiety too, and that’s okay.
You’ve opened the door to the power you kept suppressed for so long, to your inner “dragon.”
It’s time to walk it, to own it, to channel it.

Those who tried to use you can feel this power.
They fear it, the strength that was hidden for years.
But through that fear, you become whole.

You are no longer a bucket for other people’s pain.
You are the source of your own strength.

Reconnect with Yourself in Nature
Step into the forest and rediscover what it feels like to be fully alive. In Orit’s guided Somatic Walk, you’ll slow down, feel your body, senses, and the living world around you, and open a gentle dialogue with your inner self through Active Imagination. No techniques, no rituals just presence, awareness, and a natural recalibration of mind and body.

A Journey to Reconnect with Your True Self Sometimes, to hear yourself, you need to step outside the noise into something older, quieter, and real.The forest isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a living environment that responds when you meet it with presenc

Some people live in survival mode reacting, complaining, justifying, scrambling to earn their place in the world. Others move quietly, with purpose. They don’t shy away from pain, hold grudges against life, or pretend they’ve got it all figured out. They simply learn to be present, without self-pity, without grand gestures, without illusions.

Maturity begins where excuses end. It’s when you stop polishing your image and start facing the parts of yourself that words can’t capture. It feels like stepping into the unknown, with no promise of a safety net. But that’s where real strength is born not loud or showy, but quiet, warm, like a steady breath.

True intention doesn’t live in prayers or promises. It shows up in action, when what’s inside aligns with what you do. When that happens, the world doesn’t bend to your will, it meets you, as if in agreement.

Along the way, you’ll meet people who make you want to curse them. They’re mirrors, reflecting your own pride and pain. It’s hard to thank them, but they’re the ones who sharpen you, stripping away the ego until it’s transparent. Without them, you’d stay rough, unrefined, like metal without fire.

When the inner noise quiets, the world comes alive. Suddenly, a tree is just a tree, not a symbol. The air isn’t just background, it’s the breath of life itself. In that moment, the line between the observer and the observed disappears.

Maturity isn’t armor or self-denial. It’s about using your energy wisely: no waste, no fuss, no unnecessary steps. Every move becomes precise, like walking a tightrope where balance matters more than applause.

Life occasionally reminds you it’s finite. Death stands close not to scare you, but to keep you focused on what matters. When you can meet it with a smile, fear fades, and clarity remains.
The path becomes simple: walk toward a life where you’re not ashamed to be yourself. Not for rewards or recognition, but because living any other way feels impossible.

Freedom isn’t doing whatever you want. It’s never losing yourself, no matter what comes.

10/12/2025

Acceptance and rejection are merely different forms of the same dependence.

If you can’t refuse yourself a small pleasure, say, a sweet treat, then it controls you.
If you restrict yourself from it, it gains double power over you, because now, along with the discomfort of its absence, come self-hatred and guilt each time you give in.
And even if you completely deny yourself that pleasure, it still rules you, because it has managed to cut off a piece of your reality.

The same applies to all desires: alcohol, sex, cigarettes, money, adrenaline.
Quitting smoking is difficult not because of chemical addiction, but because the one who tries to quit is more dependent on cigarettes than the one who simply smokes.
A freedom fighter obsessed with democracy will never become truly free, he is enslaved by the struggle itself.
A monk practicing strict asceticism will never overcome “the desire of the flesh”, he remains a slave to denial.
Acceptance and rejection are merely different forms of the same dependence.

Wisdom lies not in self-restraint or total asceticism, but in the ability to maintain equilibrium, preserve inner harmony, and live in balance.
Freedom begins when you remain at peace regardless of whether you get what you want or not.
The beauty of such freedom is that you become untouchable.
You are happy or… happy.

How to Stop Energy Leaks and Reclaim Your Power

Explaining Too Much? Stop.
Say only what you mean—the reactions of others are beyond your control.
Every unnecessary word drains your energy.

You Don't Need to Justify Yourself.
Even if you messed up, own it without guilt. Guilt is useful if it's fuel for growth, not an anchor. Acknowledge the mistake, calm down, and commit to doing better next time.
Don't dwell on your screw-ups.
Your worth comes from within, not from external validation.

Embrace Clear Boundaries.
Say "yes" firmly to what you truly want.
Say "no" decisively to what you don't—it's not selfishness, but an act of self-preservation, so your "yes" rings true.
Make your choice, stand by it, and never look back.
True power lies in focus. The transformation has already begun.

Doubt Is a Luxury You Can't Afford.
In this pivotal transition, banish hesitation—it's a thief of momentum.

Close the Open Loops.
Wrap up unfinished business: end stagnant relationships, complete lingering tasks, even close those endless browser tabs.
Declutter ruthlessly. Tidy your space, your phone—delete outdated contacts, archived Facebook or WhatsApp groups. Create room for what matters.

Stop Hoping—Start Living It.
Don't wait for your future to unfold. Act as if it's already yours, and you're simply stepping into the reality you've created.
No more waiting on people, circumstances, or permission.

Commit Fully: No Excuses, No Softening, No Hidden Agendas.
Be direct and unapologetic.
Remember: Your words, desires, intentions, and boundaries are your energy. Guard them fiercely.

Ready to Reclaim?
As a transpersonal guide leading others through these very shifts, I've seen how one intentional "no" or cleared loop can unlock profound inner freedom.
What's one energy leak you're ready to seal today?
Reach out, let's turn awareness into lasting power.

Control and Energy
The anxiety I spoke of isn’t just fear, it’s the attempt to hold onto what, by its nature, cannot be controlled. The endless race to keep everything under control drains your resources.
You pour your energy into trying to manage the unmanageable: illness, suffering, weather, death, external events. The more you cling to the illusion of control, the more anxiety binds you, leaving less energy for truly living.

As a transpersonal guide, I invite you to see your energy through the lens of three circles of control.
🍏The first circle, your control, includes your choices, the words you use, your actions, and your habits. These are fully within your power to shape your life.
🍏The second circle, your influence, covers the atmosphere in relationships, your children (to some extent), and teamwork. You can influence these, creating a comfortable environment, but you can’t control them completely.
🍏The third circle, beyond your control, encompasses others’ thoughts, reactions, politics, weather, the past, death. These are outside your reach, no matter how hard you try.

✨Even within your circle of control, uncertainty lingers and that’s okay.✨

Life offers no guarantees, and demanding them fuels your anxiety.
Try sorting it out:
🍏what you can control,
🍏what you can influence, and
🍏what you need to let go.
For example, you can choose how to respond to a provocation, but you can’t dictate what someone thinks of you. You can care for your body, but you can’t stop time or prevent every illness.

Letting go of what you can’t control and aligning with what you can influence restores your energy. Anxiety fades when you stop wasting effort on fighting reality. Instead, you channel your energy into your actions, words, and relationships into what makes your life meaningful and alive.
Emotions, including anxiety, are part of being alive. Suppressing or running from them burns energy. Learning to express them consciously and in socially acceptable ways is an investment in yourself that sets you free. As I said before, embracing uncertainty isn’t weakness—it’s strength. It’s the path to freedom, where you don’t vanish even if everything falls apart, but keep living, handling what’s within your power.

Good luck on this journey!

Your mind is like a mirror, absorbing the energy, attitudes, and intentions of those around you. Spending time with people who don’t see your worth can quietly shape your inner world, casting a shadow over how you view yourself. But there’s another side: surrounding yourself with those who inspire growth and support can awaken strengths you didn’t even know you had.

You are a star, carrying a unique light within. As your guide, I create a space where that light can shine brighter, helping you tap into your inner resources to overcome obstacles and find paths to balance and clarity. Here, your aspirations are met with encouragement, and your challenges become opportunities for growth.

This process isn’t just self-work—it’s a collaborative journey that opens new perspectives and empowers you to feel your own strength. By choosing an environment that uplifts you, you give yourself the chance to shine. Start your journey today.

In my transpersonal psychotherapy practice in Israel, I used to tell patients: “You’re not anxious. You just don’t want to admit that you control nothing.” At that moment, panic surged, then silence fell.

Anxiety doesn’t stem from fear, it comes from trying to control what is, by nature, uncontrollable: time, people, death, the future.

As long as you cling to your illusion that you can predict and manage everything, you live in a kind of hell where something is always “wrong.”

Anxiety is a form of pride, as paradoxical as it sounds. It’s not just fear, you want to be the exception, believing, “I shouldn’t get sick, suffer, lose, or fail.” But reality spares no one. While you build a concrete bunker around life, you’re not living, you’re defending. You don’t become “calm.” You become humble, and that is what sets you free.

After this truth hits, there is no middle ground: you either embrace the chaos or keep simulating control through anxiety. Some of you slam the door and leave; others, for the first time, exhale.

The endless race to “keep everything under control” devours your resources. As a transpersonal guide, I don’t erase your anxiety, I dismantle the need to sustain it, and then your body lets go on its own.

I don’t offer “positive thinking.”
I teach you to face the thought, “Yes, this could happen,” and not lose your mind.
True freedom begins not where you’re certain everything will be fine, but where you know: even if everything falls apart, you won’t disappear.

You’ll cope.
You’re not perfect, but you’re alive.
Being alive means tolerating uncertainty, that’s not weakness, it’s strength.

I don’t save you from anxiety.
I dismantle the illusion that you can live without pain.

Pain is not a glitch, it’s part of the journey.

The sooner you stop running from it, the sooner anxiety dissolves, not because you’re “cured,” but because you stop fighting reality.

Self-hate has a dual dynamic. Internally, it appears as a suppressed sense of unworthiness, externally, it manifests as a projection of this feeling onto the world, onto other people, and onto ideas. In both cases, the root is the same: deep layers of perinatal and biographical suffering that have not been fully acknowledged or integrated.

Psychic energy turned against the self can express itself as depression or a sense of personal insignificance. But it can also be projected outward as a furious crusader, an intolerant fighter, a fanatic, someone who unconsciously seeks an external target for their hatred. The difference lies only in the direction of the vector inward or outward.

A furious “fighter for justice,” hating everyone who thinks differently, is the same person who, under other circumstances, might sink into profound depression. Both poles are different expressions of the same underlying inner content.

This reveals the deep nature of the human psyche: the energy we call self-hate never exists in isolation. It is part of a broader system of experiences, archetypal patterns, and somatic memory. Recognizing its existence and understanding its roots opens the path for this energy to stop being destructive and become a source of deep inner transformation and expanded self-awareness.

Have you noticed this polarity in your environment or perhaps in yourself: on one hand, profound depression, and on the other, intense intolerance toward opinions that differ from your own?

I am profoundly grateful for this extraordinary birthday gift from a cherished soul! A 16-inch Water-Fall Disk, handcrafted by Nazar Drums Workshop. This remarkable instrument sings with a serene yet powerful resonance, echoing the gentle cascade of a waterfall, the rhythmic patter of jungle rain or the eternal flow of the ocean’s tides.

As a transpersonal guide, I weave the soothing, healing tones of this sacred instrument into my guided meditation journeys, held in the heart of nature’s embrace. In the forest, where the whispers of the earth intertwine with inner exploration, these resonant sounds deepen moments of connection, fostering profound transformation and serenity for those I guide.

I integrate this sacred tool into my practice, enriching the Active Imagination techniques that invite healing and self-discovery. Its ethereal vibrations amplify the transformative power of these sessions, guiding clients toward greater wholeness.

If you feel called to explore these sacred forest journeys and the alchemy of sound and soul, please reach out I am honored to share more.

About Orit (Света)

I work mostly with adult individuals and couples who feel stuck in negative patterns of their relations, or are anxious, depressed, carrying wounds from trauma, in the midst of a major life transition or want to develop more fulfilling and creative life.

I offer heartfelt treatment that is engaged, creative and deep. If you are feeling "stuck" in an old story, caught in a never ending loop of repeating thought or behavioral patterns, or have a sense of not being fully present in life, I can help you shift into a fuller sense of yourself that is empowered and positive. My style is sensitive yet direct and "down-to-earth". We all have a creative aspect to our psyche that has the power to make effective changes to achieve positive outcomes in our lives. I endeavor to awoke that resource.

In addition to dialogue, I also use Guided Meditation to unravel patterns of memory and response, somatic (body) awareness, mindfulness meditation, and light trance states to enhance the work.

Sveta was born in Ukraine and moved to Israel, where she finished middle and high schools. Sveta is Russian and Orit is an Israeli name, and they both mean Light.
