About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Simplicity

Russian, Polish, Jewish by background, agnostic by choice, soon to be clinical psychologist who prefers flexibility over rigidity and intricacy over the mundane. I believe in heightened emotion, uncovered emotion, turning anxiety into confidence, building on strengths, captured stillness, warmth, pillows, boundaries, transcendence, belonging, relatedness, insight, experience, integrity, intimacy, transformation, perseverance, empathy, dancing in the rain, authenticity, music, healing, pilates, the narrative of myths and dreams, and psychological growth.I am a believer in the individual journey. I value the importance of knowing your strengths, awareness about your own reactions, interpersonal patterns and learning from them to move you forward.I truly believe, those who can objectively understand who they are separate from in relation to another human being has already learned one of the most valuable lessons. We all express in nuanced ways our struggle with being fully integrated, and only a few, and I mean few ever reach this level. However, I believe the process leads to a more richer and satisfying life. Good luck in your process. Seek to be known, seek to emulate those you admire, seek to be loved, more importantly love yourself, seek something greater than yourself, motivate and imbue people around you to act in positive ways that may surprise them, seek to understand, be truthful in your intentions, go after what you want, elucidate your strengths, ameliorate growth, ask a lot of questions, seek comfort in your own humanity, and especially humility.
