Feeling like your life is missing essential pieces? In this revealing conversation, psychotherapist Nomi Bachar introduces us to her revolutionary Gates of Power system at White Cedar Institute—a comprehensive approach to healing and self-actualization she's refined over 35 years of practice.
Nomi presents a refreshingly holistic perspective, comparing our lives to a pizza with seven essential slices: body, emotions, dialogue, creative expression, life path, silence, and knowledge. Each slice represents a gate—a portal connecting our inner being to the external world. When these gates are all functioning properly, we experience wholeness and vitality. But when slices are missing or damaged, our lives feel incomplete.
What truly sets Nomi's approach apart is her understanding of our internal dynamics. She identifies three distinct aspects within each person: the emotional self, the defensive/survival self, and the expanded self (what she calls the "God wisdom inside you"). Most people operate from either emotional or survival instincts, but Nomi teaches clients to access and lead from their expanded self—the only aspect truly capable of wisdom and higher vision. This creates harmony in your "inner family" and transforms how you navigate the world.
Unlike quick-fix approaches, Nomi is refreshingly honest about the commitment required. "I'm loving and compassionate, but there's no hiding behind the bush here," she explains. This authenticity has attracted clients who are serious about transformation, not just seeking temporary relief. Ready to become your own healer, coach, and inner parent?
