Gubanova Nioza

I have always been interested in psychology, since I was a child I began to wonder how the world and people are organized. My first visit to a psychologist was at the age of 4, my mother took me to him because I was having a hard time being separated from my father. And as I remember now, it helped me a lot.

From the age of 15 until the age of 20, my psychological state was difficult: I went through depressive states, suicidal thoughts, derealization, panic attacks, self-harm, paranoia, anxiety and bad relationships. That's why I started studying psychology already in my teens. Of course, I started with the classics of psychology - with Freud.

I read all the books that just appeared in my field of vision and summarized them in my large notebook, which still preserves the memory of my first steps in psychology. In it, I kept records of introspection. I tried to be my own psychologist, and little by little I experimented with psychoanalysis with my friends.

By the age of 18, I had a fairly good theoretical base, and this was confirmed by the fact that I studied at the university easily.

But even then I began to understand that theory is one thing, but having practical knowledge is another.

You can know a lot, but not change your life. So I decided to go to personal therapy, besides, my condition at that time was already critical, and soon I came across a Gestalt therapy program on the Internet. I didn't know what it was then, but I felt that I needed it. This is how I began my incredible journey into Gestalt.

I came with a wealth of knowledge, but I lacked a very important element - the ability to feel myself and real experience in relationships with people, not books.

The group had a tremendous impact on me - I have completely changed my life with the help of individual therapy and the group, and I continue, because the process of self-discovery and discovery of new possibilities can be endless.

So I decided to start trying to work with people at a level where I could help. Gradually my practice began to grow. During the first year, I held various meetings with people on the topic of emotional intelligence and dream analysis.

I created online marathons on self-esteem and led a group in cooperation with a nutritionist on the topic of psychological overeating. Conducted master classes at conferences on psychological trauma and difficulties in relationships.

​My meaning is to open up opportunities for people to get to know themselves, the world and other people from new angles, to feel interest in life, to create space for healing mental wounds together, to change the atmosphere of the world, because each of us, touching each other, affects the course of life events. A little later, I wrote a book about emotions, which became quite popular, because this topic is always relevant and this is where self-knowledge begins. It is now publicly available and still helps people manage their emotions. And in the fall of 2021, I was offered to assemble a study group of the 1st degree in Odessa from our MIGIS institute. I gathered the first, beautiful group and now I have the honor to train as a group trainer.Thus, the first branch of our institute from the Dnipro appeared in Odesa. Then, together with Oksana Sychenko, we created a project: therapeutic groups and a series of webinars for psychologists, how to promote yourself in social networks and build a stable practice.

This is a topic I'm passionate about because I've walked this path myself and I have something to share.

I also created a free trauma healing course for Ukrainians to help them cope with various experiences during wartime and take care of their psychological state right now.

Queries I work with:

• Finding yourself and self-esteem
• Relationships with your partner and parents
• Anxiety, panic attacks, fears
• Apathy, depression
• Self-realization, self-confidence
• Adaptation problems, loneliness
• Understanding your emotions and coping with difficult situations
• Emotional overeating
