“If you bring forth what is within you,
What you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you,
What you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

  • Home is a journey, not a location.

    “Home is a journey; there is always more to see, more to realize, more to discover about who you are and what it means to be at home.” ~ Ari M Wolfe I have been digesting this message I heard a little while ago during the last few weeks of my travels. Over the past […]

  • Do you live in a fantasy? This may explain your suffering.

    “I get so lost in what I had pictured my life would be.” “But if he really loved me, he wouldn’t behave this way…” “I am so worried about my daughter’s choices, I cannot sleep at night.” These are some of my clients’ worries and concerns I heard last week. So many of us spend […]

  • The opposite of depression is not happiness, it’s expression.

    “The opposite of depression is not happiness, it’s expression.” This sentence I heard in session with Kate Northrup last week stunned me. I copied it to my notes. My mind wanted to linger there, savor its meaning. In a perfect synchronistic moment, that same day Facebook brought to my attention a story from years ago: […]

  • How booking an Airbnb forced me to revisit my boundaries.

    Yesterday, as I was finalizing our travel itinerary for June, I saw that one of the payments I made to reserve an Airbnb was taken from the “wrong” account. I was certain I selected the right card, even double-checked the last four digits, but the payment was taken from another account. This was an inconvenience […]

  • It’s not their behavior, it’s YOUR perception!

    It took me years to make sense of the feeling of betrayal I experienced when my husband “failed” my expectations. In the last ten years of unraveling I also felt betrayed by my father, my mother, my sister, some friends. Having just spent the weekend at my sister’s, I am amazed at how good it […]

  • Why mothering or fathering our partners perpetuates dysfunction.

    Relationships are where we get wounded. Relationships are also where we have the potential to heal. When our partners act in a mothering or fathering way, it activates our feelings of being loved. And that can seem healing. Since we bring our attachment wounds into our romantic relationships, we feel loved when our partner’s behavior […]

  • If you are not my everything, what’s the point in being together?

    “What’s the point of being together, if they cannot be everything I need?” “What’s the point of being together, if I’m responsible for my own needs?” “What’s the point of being together, If I cannot share my emotions when I need to?” “What does it mean to build a partnership that is not based on […]

  • Your body is an animal. You are not your body.

    A few weeks ago, coming out of a shower, I saw a frog sitting on one of the stone walls. It startled me. I felt a pump of adrenalin spreading through my torso like electricity. My animal body was reacting to the presence of another body sharing my space without my awareness. It took me […]

  • When Your Body Says Yes, But Your Mind Says No

    I was walking in our community garden early Sunday morning, enjoying the beautiful sounds of nature waking up. Suddenly the soothing morning sounds were pierced by a burst of loud music coming from one of the nearby houses. “Yes sir, I can boogie But I need a certain song I can boogie, boogie woogie All […]

    Book Galina for speaking engagements
  • "Galina’s voice is strikingly unique, particularly in the feminist space. Her words carry the weight of deep self-enquiry and hard-won truth. She offers the reader a bracingly fresh perspective on relationships, femininity, empowerment, and self-responsibility. The revelations she unearths are often profoundly uncomfortable in their clarity but strangely comforting to finally hear spoken out loud. She cuts right through our layers of conditioning to the heart of the female experience."
