Are you dissatisfied with your life, curious enough to question why, and open to doing things differently?

Then you are in the right place.

There are times when the life you've built no longer fits with what you really want. You might know what's bothering you, even what you need to change, yet you keep putting off important decisions, getting caught up in the same conflicts or doing things that go against your own interests.

Hi, I'm Noemi, a psychologist, and I created Gangatu to help people like you understand what's really going on and how to start moving forward.

Here you'll find psychological insights, reflections and tools to better understand your behaviour, question your beliefs and recognise the patterns that influence your life. 
That means being willing to ask yourself uncomfortable questions, examine ideas you may have taken for granted for years and take an active role in the changes you want to make in your life.

If you're looking for miracle solutions, one-size-fits-all formulas or someone to tell you exactly how to live your life, this probably isn't the place for you. 

What's worrying you, or what would you like to understand better about yourself?

You might be interested in the decisions you've been putting off, the difficulties you face in your relationships or the reasons you keep repeating certain behaviours. Here are some of the topics I regularly cover on Gangatu, so you can explore whatever interests you:

Decisions and life changes. Indecision, fear of change, feeling stuck, major life choices, personal responsibility and building a life of your own.

Relationships and love. Love, emotional dependence, relationship conflicts, choosing a partner, loneliness, emotional bonds and relationship dynamics.

Self-awareness and human behaviour. The unconscious, recurring patterns, inner contradictions, self-sabotage, psychological mechanisms and understanding yourself.

Purpose, goals and motivation. Meaning in life, ambition, success, failure, perseverance, procrastination and achieving goals.

Emotions and psychological wellbeing. Suffering, fear, anger, resentment, acceptance, emotional regulation, happiness and coping with difficult experiences.

Self-esteem and personal identity. Self-worth, insecurity, authenticity, social comparison, self-confidence and the need for approval.

Boundaries and social relationships. Family, communication, manipulation, interpersonal conflicts, people-pleasing, guilt and other people's responsibilities.

Beliefs, social conditioning and critical thinking. Social norms, cultural expectations, self-help narratives, limiting beliefs, social pressure and questioning established ideas.

Want to explore further?

Three times a week, I send out a free newsletter exploring the way we think, feel, relate to others and live our lives. I draw on psychological insights, reflections, stories, anecdotes and, occasionally, the absurd things happening in the world today, which offer a chance to examine human behaviour from a different perspective.
The newsletter is also your gateway to my products and services, designed for people who want to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, address what's troubling them and move forward with the changes they want to make in their lives.

When you subscribe, you'll also receive a free copy of 30 Decisions, my ebook about the decisions that can change the course of your life and what happens when we keep waiting until we feel completely certain before taking action.
