How Does It Work?
- Step 1. We create Photodual Portraits based on your full-face photo.
P.S. We used a photo from our book to provide an example, but a photo of your choice can be used in the actual session.
- Step 2. We organise online session, where we guide you through the inner-exploration-process with relevant questions.
P.S. No diagnosis will be enforced, we only assist you in your inner journey.
- Step 3. We help you fully immerse in each subpersonality presented on each of the Photodual Portraits.
- Step 4. We help you understand the relationships between two facial sides, that represent basic subpersonalities and potential inner conflict that arises between them, affecting decision making process.
- Step 5. We identify basic needs & aspirations of each subpersonality, and correlate them with your personal values & goals, providing you with a model of optimal behaviour that would minimise the inner conflict and maximise the benefits.
Principles of Photodual Therapy Method:
This method was created based on the extensive scientific data and humanistic psychotherapeutic values.
Neurophysiological & Philosophical Basis
According to the therapeutic approach of psychosynthesis, two basic subpersonalities, conditionally female and male, can be identified in every person. They are closely related to the difference in functions of the cerebral hemispheres and are mentioned in the concepts of Eastern philosophy. These subpersonalities are the subject of the Photodual Therapy.
Reflection of the Gestalt Therapy's Basic Values
Techniques of gestalt therapy & process-oriented psychology are used to explore the subjective content of the right-sided and left-sided photodual portraits, using the projection mechanism as a basis.
Focus on Self Experience
This method puts focus on inner dialogue that arises between subpersonalities, helping to externalize it through the clients' observation of his Photodual portraits. Therefore, third-person interpretations carry no therapeutic value and are being considered unacceptable.
Feedback from the clients after Photodual Therapy Session
Natalia Suprun
Thank you very much. I've wanted to come to you for so long, something was holding me back, probably my fear. But only today - it worked. This is something incredible, it's very deep, and really, having been working on myself for a long time, I can say with all certainty that this is a new unique method that leads to a better stage of development, knowledge, discovery, understanding of oneself. Transformation happens instantly. So we become conscious, real, and happy!

Yesterday I had another session of photoduality, and I can say that it is a very resourceful form of therapy. Photoduality allows you to see hidden resources and work in tandem with your sub-personalities. I feel a strong flow of energy after the session. It's nice to observe the changes after the session, integrate the processed request, and start taking action. I feel a very strong inner support for myself.

Thank you for the work. I really enjoyed participating. I look at the photos and remember all the feelings. Some portraits brought tears, others scared. The recent portraits radiate peace and confidence. I noticed that the eyelid on the right side has lifted. Initially, I was doing facial massage, but the last photos were taken after a few months break. It shows how the internal state affects appearance. Working with photodualism helped me: - Find inner strength. - Learn to listen to myself and my desires. - Trust the Universe and believe that I am in the right place. - Shift from a "victim" position to an "I can" position. - Accept myself as different and thank myself for the experience. The transformation was interesting and unexpected. Five sessions allowed me to gather my thoughts and internal state. The conclusion I want to make is that all the answers are within me. I have many good ideas from the left side; they need to be given a chance because these ideas come from inner desires. And the right side should trust these desires and implement them in earthly ways.

It was fantastic... That's exactly how I would describe my meeting with Masha yesterday!
Photo-dual therapy is the reconciliation of two aspects of your personality, in my case, the male and female elements.
They take a photograph of you, divide it in half, mirror the right and left sides, connect the right with the right, left with the left - and thus you end up with not one, but two portraits of yourself!
And you look at your feminine and masculine parts.
For me, this experience was new, and for many others it will be new and unusual!
I initially went to therapy with the goal of having a good time and finding out what it was all about! But my intention was sincere and pure, which is why the result exceeded all my expectations!
You know what's great about this therapy? That the main focus is on YOU! The therapist simply guides you with their magic wand in one direction or another! After the therapy, I even felt changes in my physical being - and that impressed me the most! I was filled with so many emotions!
I was so overwhelmed by the thought that my inner king and inner queen love each other, love the people around them, they are fair, tender, loving, and generous!
And most importantly - it's me! I love myself! I love the people around me! I am fair! I am tender! I am loving! I am generous! And I am many-many other good things!
