“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.”

  • 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 […]

  • Fighting evil may not be the best solution..

    It would be dishonest for me to say that I am not affected by the shenanigans on the political stage these days. I admit to, at times, feeling great discomfort, even fear, as I witness massive changes in the world order, and the uncertainty about tomorrow that this creates. At the same time, I believe […]

  • 3 reasons why you feel un-fulfilled in your relationships

    We all want deep, safe and fulfilling relationships. And yet few of us actually ever get to a degree of contentment we seek. When something doesn’t quite work in our relationships, the tendency is to focus on the external factors. I spent years picking apart my husband. I even blamed and projected on his mother […]

  • The endless longing for love stops here.

    Any fulfilling relationship with anything or anyone starts with you. You can blame others for your suffering, for your lack of fulfillment, but you will not get any relief from it. Not sustainably. And it will just keep you stuck. I know because I used to do that. I used to try to make my […]

  • "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."
