Nadezhda Baranova Biography

Psychologist, Gestalt therapist, teacher of psychology. Work experience is 6 years. My name is Nadezhda Baranova, I am a psychologist, a gestalt-therapist, a teacher of psychology. It so happened that much of what was important to me, interesting for me, gave me strength and inspiration, once, lost its meaning. I remember this disgusting state when you do everything too, what before, but now it is all felt fresh and meaningless.

He lost old values, but had not yet managed to find new ones. And I really want everything to be as before, but it will never be like that again. I know how difficult it is to admit, how difficult it is to look for new meanings. What it is like to learn to live, learn to live, and how scary that the newly acquired, once, can also collapse. No matter how difficult and scary it was, but it was these difficult events that the collapse allowed me to recognize and find a new myself.

Such that all this will be affected. And, most importantly, not just to withstand, endure, cope with yourself, circumstances, irresistible forces, but live in pleasure. And know for sure that new supports will keep my new one.

Now I am with children's enthusiasm I try different sports, pilates, stretching, even ballet. Although previously could not stand any physical activity. But now for me there is a lot of care and love for my body. For me, this is about how I can give myself pleasure. I really fell in love with female creative circles, where I am learning to draw pictures, sculpt from clay, make cakes.

And it doesn’t matter to me that my creations may not look elegant and skilled enough. For me, it has great value how I learned to be among the real people, make mistakes, ask for help, choose exactly the color of the paint, the shape of the vase, the filling for the cake that I want. And do not be afraid that this will not fit into someone's picture of the world.

Because, now, for me it is more important how I see the world. I am happy to lead myself on dates with the city: I take music with me in headphones, coffee and go to my favorite embankment to enjoy the sunset. Because, now, I love and are not afraid to walk alone, and I am no longer destroying from the feeling of loneliness in this. These things were definitely not available to me before, I just could not do otherwise.

I saw and heard how others, but did not know how I could. But, I am glad that my life is not standing still, that events, people are replaced by my desires, hobbies. After all, it is the changes that allow life to become different. And I like to learn a new one, create new favorite places, things, actions. They allow me to be where I always wanted to be. It is difficult, scary, unusual, sometimes painful, but it's worth it.

And now I know how it is delicious to live. I study at the world differently thanks to my profession. I came to psychology in the year. It was not quite consciously, but exactly at the call of the heart. And now I can say with confidence that this is not just a job for me, but a matter of my life. Although the path in the profession was also not easy for me. I dreamed of becoming a classic “cabinet” psychologist in a cozy chair.

She entered the university and immediately disappointed in the profession. The prospect of becoming a school psychologist or employee of a psychiatric dispensary did not attract me. And I rebelled on a psychologist at official activities. The idea to work in the organs seemed to me more attractive. But, closer to the end of training, disappointment overtook me again. I realized that the structures are not mine either.

And yet, since my basic education is associated precisely with the specifics of military service and the first psychological practice was carried out with the military, this topic will forever remain in my soul. I am still interested in military psychology and work with military trauma in the field of psychology, and also provide psychological assistance to the families of military personnel.

And I found myself in Gestalt therapy. This is one of the softest and most careful directions in practical psychology, where much attention is paid to the actual experiences, feelings and emotions of the client. This method fell in love with psychotherapy even more. In Gestalt, even when heavy, bitter, painful episodes of life are examined, I gently, gently and warmly.

Now teenagers, parents, women, sometimes men are addressing me. Each person is unique, all processes are very individual, so the method and pace of work that is right for you will be selected for you. In relations, we are hurt, and we are healing in them. I am sure, regardless of what method the specialist is owned by the specialist to whom you are addressing, contact with the psychologist will be healing.

The creation of safe, trusting contact with the client, warm support and its unconditional adoption are important to me. I will be glad to escape you on the way to get to know myself. I am ready to be near and help in overcoming life difficulties and sorrows. I know how difficult it is to cope alone. I invite you to go this way together.
