Therapy For Your Psyche & Physique
Do you plan to move to Israel or are you living there?

                                                      Life in Israel could be hellish or pretty good
     This page is for you who is thinking of or already live in Israel and are discontent or unhappy with your situation. You can't move without leaving your family/kids or some other reasons. Because you can't move, you feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. You daydream about going to Ben Gurion airport with a one-way ticket, and when the plane leaves the Israeli tarmac, you sigh of relief and give the middle finger to Israel. Fifteen minutes later, you are celebrating with champagne.... 
At least I use to think like that... in my pitch-black moments.
     You become cranky, frustrated, and show symptoms of depression. You look at yourself and realize you could be a much better person, husband, and father/mother. Israel is the middle east with European and North American influences, but it is the middle east. That said, the culture, attitudes, values, and behavior are VERY different. Some people can cope well with it, and it helps if a person has Jewish roots. Others, like myself, struggle. I know a person who moved from the U.S. where he was a successful businessman. He drove a Bentley and a Lamborghini. He arrived in Israel 25 years ago with his family; wife and two kids. Struggled for four years, burned the savings and today he is driving a Fiat Pinto and a Ford Focus. He is a happy person! He doesn't want to move back to the U.S. He found his place and is content in spite of living a typical Israeli middle-class life, comparing what he was used to. How come? He is Jewish, and at home, while growing up, Israel was talked about positively. He was determined to make it in Israel; of course, it also helps to have a particular type of personality.
     How do you cope with this situation and find it not just tolerable but find happiness in spite of an environment you feel driving you crazy? That isn't a simple answer to this, because we are all different. 
​     I have found different ways to cope with it. It's not easy, and it takes perseverance and patience. If you feel you need support to deal and move forward with your life in Israel, please don't hesitate to contact me. Remember, I have been in your situation!​
                                                                 Do you plan to move to Israel?

     As said in the headline Israel could be hellish or pretty good. If you have plans moving to Israel, even thinking about it. You shouldn't decide lightly, Israel is a unique country in the middle east. If you would like to have the insider's subjective opinion and objective facts, please contact me because there are so many aspects to consider.
