Episode 104: Oksana Yusupova & Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life by Jim Kwik

ABOUT OKSANA

With over two decades of experience since beginning my career in 2001, I am dedicated to understanding and helping others navigate their emotions. As a psychotherapist, I specialize in Emotion-Focused Therapy, working with children, families, and adults. My areas of expertise include treating emotional trauma, behavioral and social issues, anxiety, depression, and life challenges. I hold a Master's degree in Psychology and offer a range of psychotherapy services (individual, family, couple). In addition to one-on-one sessions, I lead workshops, events, and courses on emotions and emotional intelligence for schools, universities, and organizations. I am also a content creator and speaker. You can find my YouTube channel, "Focus On Emotions," and hear me as a guest speaker on Spotify. As an author, I have written a book for children and teenagers about emotions, titled "Focus on Emotions. The Kids’ Guide to Themselves." I am passionate about emotions, the brain, and psychology, and I explore the powerful connections between these areas.
