Hi, I am Ramona Magyih

I didn’t set out to become a psychologist because I had it all figured out. I set out because I didn’t.

Losing both of my parents when I was still just trying to understand who I was — it split something in me. Left me untethered. Like I was moving through life without a compass or even a sky to look up at. There were years when I didn’t know what I was feeling, only that it hurt. I was disconnected from myself, trapped in silence, reacting to life instead of living it.

That pain, that confusion — it turned into a question that wouldn’t leave me alone: Why do we feel the way we do? And how the hell do we come back from it?

So, I went looking. Psychology was never just a job. It was a lifeline. It gave shape to the chaos, language to what I had no words for. But even as I helped others make sense of their stories, I quietly neglected my own.

Eventually, that caught up with me.

Therapy cracked me open. It forced me to face the things I buried deep — grief, rage, shame, longing. And in that mess, something began to shift. I started to feel again. Not always comfortably, but honestly. I began the slow, imperfect process of returning to myself.

And along the way, I got curious — scientifically curious — about what healing really means. How trauma wires our brains. How emotions live in the body. How we carry old patterns like ghosts we didn’t invite but can’t seem to evict.

So I studied — neuroscience, mindfulness, positive psychology, coaching — anything that could help me piece together the puzzle. Not to fix myself, but to understand myself. And others. Maybe even you.

What I do now comes from both sides of the mirror.

I’m not just a psychologist. I’m someone who’s sat in the client chair, ugly crying, feeling like a mess, not knowing if things could ever change. And I’m someone who’s also learned how to hold space for others in that exact same place.

So whether you’re wrestling with childhood wounds, stuck in emotional loops that don’t make sense, or quietly wondering, “Who even am I anymore?” — I’m here. Not to tell you what to do, but to walk with you while you figure it out.

My work is about:

Making emotional healing less overwhelming
Turning complex psychology into something human, useful, and real
Helping you meet yourself with more clarity, courage, and self-compassion

Through my books, blog, podcast, and online community, I talk about what it means to feel fully — the fear, the rage, the joy, the numbness, the longing, the love. All of it.

Because your emotions aren’t random. They’re not wrong.
They’re the story your nervous system is still trying to tell you.
And when we listen — really listen — we begin to write a new one.
