Ruthless Compassion Institute: Our 5 Areas of Focus:

From receiving board certification in psychiatry to establishing her own institute dedicated to fostering personal growth and wellness, Dr. Sirota has garnered a breadth of experience in her field. Directing her efforts into 5 areas of focus, her specialties include:

Addiction – Addiction is a dysfunctional response to childhood trauma. The secret to overcoming addiction: heal the trauma and the cravings disappear.

Creativity – Creativity is deeply tied to empowerment. When the inner critic is silenced and self-acceptance is abundant, creativity flows freely.

Empowerment of Women – Feminism is about realizing our intellectual, creative and financial potential. It’s seeing women as entitled to equal pay, equal treatment, and equal rights.

Relationships – Healthy relationships need honesty, kindness, and communication. We need to stop denying what’s going on in our relationships and we should always feel free to walk away from disrespect, unreasonableness or abuse.

Trauma & Recovery – The first step in dealing with trauma is to recognize that it exists. Recovery happens when there’s a conscious choice to work through the real issues at the root of the pain.
