Dr. Tzvia Granot has a doctorate degree in behavioral sciences and she specializes in couple and in individual therapy, in counseling and in guidance.
During her first career she was Ma’ariv editorial staff member and one of the newspaper’s senior writers, and she also edited different sections: news, “Style” and “Weekend” magazines and the literary section. She won the Shlomo Mertz Journalism Prize for the work.
Simultaneously, Tzvia Granot wrote books for teenagers, on varied topics: history, biography and social dilemmas from the world of the youngsters. She edited and translated books as well.
At the height of her journalism career Tzvia Granot left the newspaper and began her behavioral sciences studies in order to fulfill her wishes: to guide couples and individuals in their efforts to elevate their quality of life and the quality of their relationship to a high level. Not long after the completion of her studies she began making an impression in the therapy world with an approach quite different than customary in the human relations field.
Dr. Tzvia Granot’s professional approach is based on shifting the focus: instead of searching for the patient’s root problems in the past and in the parental patterns seen at his parents’ home, the process focuses on developing personal responsibility to change his or her obstructive behavioral patterns.
The main idea in this approach is to stop searching for reasons for difficulties we have in other people, and focusing the search for these reason on us only. This is not just a short, focused and practical therapeutic method, it also ensures long term results, it is accessible for everyone, and it has already helped many people find happiness and joy in their lives.
But it is still not the latest word in Tzvia Granot’s activity, and since she established Granot Center for Mutual Responsibility, she operates to realize her “one for the other” plan for developing shared responsibility which obligates society at large.
The main goal of the “one for the other” plan is establishing a state authority, which will voice the most dramatic statement of a society which aspires to maintain itself on the basis of shared responsibility. And many people with good will and a volunteer spirit, old and young, are just waiting to be called in order to reach all the crevices of society, and to operate everywhere, and change the national mood.
Dr. Tzvia Granot gives expression to her unique ways in lectures, workshops and courses in different organizations and colleges, in regular columns in the newspapers and in social networks, therapy meetings with couples and individuals and in the books she has written on the subject.
