Coding for alcohol addiction Over the years of working in the United States and Europe, Dr. Natalia Schmidt's name has become well known to those seeking not only medical help, but also true relief from alcohol addiction. For many years she has been helping people return to sobriety, confidence and harmony with themselves. Her methodology combines the traditions of classical psychiatry with modern techniques from the American school of hypnosis. The foundation of her approach is the famous coding. Dr. Schmidt goes back to the roots: back in 1912, the eminent psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev described the phenomenon of emotional stress therapy, and decades later, psychiatrist Alexander Dovzhenko developed a method for overcoming alcohol addiction known as coding. Dr. Natalia Schmidt developed these ideas, combining them with modern knowledge about the functioning of the brain and subconscious. Her unique coding system is based on identifying the root cause, the internal psychological trauma that influenced alcohol addiction. Coding is a kind of mental reset and reinforcement of a sober lifestyle. The treatment process takes place in a calm, trusting atmosphere, and is strictly confidential. The main thing is the result. The person stops being trapped by addiction and regains control of their life. Many remember these meetings with gratitude, calling them "the beginning of a new life." In addition to treating alcohol addiction, Dr. Schmidt successfully assists with smoking cessation. She also helps with stress, anxiety disorders, insomnia, phobias, and loss of confidence. She uses psychiatric hypnosis and emotional adjustment techniques to help restore inner balance and self-confidence. Appointments are available at convenient times, including evenings and weekends, making them especially convenient for those living the fast pace of a big city and traveling from other states and even countries. If you're looking for professional help to overcome alcohol addiction, Dr. Natalia Schmidt can help. You'll be admired again, just like before you were called an alcoholic. Phone number for appointment: 917-656-6190 The interview was recorded by Marina Lagunova, New York

Political Mathematics, Youth Protest, and Our Lessons No one expected it, but it happened, and starting January 1st, we'll have Zohran Mamdani as our mayor. Just a year ago, even the residents of Queens couldn't have imagined that Zohran Mamdani would soon become mayor of New York City. Marina Lagunova
We lived together for 11 years, but at some point, everything started to fall apart. The house was cold. Words were like glass. The children felt the tension. I didn't know how to fix it. I turned to Lilya on a tip. And it was the best solution. She saw the situation without words. She said there was negativity, arguments, resentment, and energy fatigue. She cleansed me out and gave me advice—not only spiritual but also practical. It's like my husband and I got to know each other all over again. He laughs again. I want to go home again. Lilya, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You bring me back to life. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
