About me

Greetings!

My name is Svitlana Olifira. I am a psychologist, coach, media specialist and a founder of the project In & Out You.

For more than ten years I have been working in the field of political journalism, so I know this kitchen not only outside but also from the inside. This allowed me to bring up a tolerance for others, the ability to rise above the situation and soberly analyze what is happening. Working with political leaders and active citizens gave me an understanding of the self-organization and self-regulation processes that are  taking place in a society. In 2013, as Deputy Executive Director of the Association of Political Psychologists of Ukraine, I oversaw student practice and developed communication activities. Recently, I am a member of the League of Professional Women.

As a psychologist I am practicing in a client-centered paradigm the approach of ecopsychological facilitation, CBT and trans-system approach. I am the co-author of two unique published "Alive books." Crisis, crucial and transitional periods in the life of the individual and society are in the sphere of my interests.

To help others - is not just my profession but a vocation, the fulfilment of which brings me a great pleasure. More joy I feel when I see that my words and actions make people think, re-evaluate their experience and decide on the next step, evolving as a person.

At 2013 I created this blog in which I hope you 'll be able to find useful and interesting information about psychology, philosophy, political behind the scenes, as well as on my personal experience in different spheres of life. Here I share my thoughts, telling about interesting events and projects, as well as try to convey to you my optimism.

I'm sure everyone of us is a unique personality, so we have a lot to share with each other. Together we will travel by your external and internal world, facing with discoveries, rethinking the past, analyzing the present and boldly step into the future.

Welcome to my world, where there is always a place for you.

Be different, staying yourself!
