General Info
My name is Giora Carmi. I specialize in activating deep intuition, to enable self-healing. All healing that lasts and that not only treats symptoms but changes one's life to make it meaningful and fulfilling, is self-healing. I see my duty and dedication as to be your teacher of the method, to be your guide along the process, and to be very happy for every step of yours that shows independence, including independence from me. It is a very happy pursuit. My approach came about as a gift that found me and made me into a gift carrier for everybody else. Healing means the release of beliefs, held in the deep subconscious, that even though you don?t know about them, they compel you to act in ways that you do not choose and block you from being free to be who you are and make your own choices. In order to release these beliefs, you need to be in a state in which you are not influenced by them, so that you can let them go. This can only happen when you are in a deeper state than thinking and being run by the emotions. We reach this state through intuitive flow. And we reach intuitive flow quite easily through art-making. Anybody can do it. I haven t seen even one person of any age and condition who could not do it. There is absolutely no need to be an artist. I work in English and in Hebrew. The method works successfully for every condition and every age. I also offer art therapy through SKYPE. Specialties include: * Loss or Grief * Parenting * Trauma and PTSD * Art Therapy * Relationship Issues * Depression * Anxiety or Fears * Addictions or Substance Abuse * Child or Adolescent Issues * ADHD * Chronic Pain or Illness * Divorce * Domestic Abuse or Violence * Eating Disorders * Gay Lesbian Issues

My 10 year old daughter had been suffering from extreme lack of self confidence when I happened to meet Giora at a meeting. From hearing him talk about his work, I felt he could help my daughter. She has been seeing him for a little over a year now. She gave us very hard time about going to him. She was very critical of him, lots of “Why do I have to.” I insisted, bribed her and she went.
In the beginning, she wanted me to sit in on their sessions. I was very impressed with Giora’s empathy, patience, respect for her, as well as his ability to reflect back her feelings to her as expressed through her artwork. She was not verbally responsive to him, but it was clear he made an impact on her and she was always very cheerful after her sessions.
The past year was not all easy sailing. There were (and are) times when tremendous anger erupted on a frequent basis. Giora made me realize this was part of the process for her and suggested that we accept her feelings, that there were reasons for her anger. Not easy to do! On the other side, there have also been times when she showed tremendous love.
I can’t say our family relationships have improved much. There is still a lot of fighting with siblings. But there have been small changes along the way. In the past few months I have gotten feedback from school that she is doing better. I think she feels a somewhat more likeable and has taken some little steps towards relationships with her peers. She has gone from refusing to do any extra-curricular activities to asking for music lessons. And I myself have tried to pay attention to the way I react to her. I know part of her problem is me and I am working on that part.
