In a world increasingly defined by emotional overload, burnout, and quiet identity loss, few practitioners are able to access the subconscious with the precision and depth that Margo Rustamyan brings to her work. A certified hypnotherapist, Subconscious Transformation Expert and the creator of the proprietary THE VORTEX CODE™ methodology, Rustamyan has spent more than 15 years working at the intersection of psychology, hypnotherapy, and energy-based transformation, helping individuals uncover the unseen emotional patterns that silently shape their lives.
Known for her ability to identify subconscious blocks within minutes, Margo’s approach goes beyond traditional therapy, focusing on the deep emotional and energetic imprints that drive behaviour, relationships, and self-perception.
In this interview, she shares rare insights into how suppressed emotions, identity fragmentation, and survival-mode living manifest in modern life, and how conscious transformation at the subconscious level can restore clarity, resilience, and authentic self-connection
You are known for identifying emotional patterns and subconscious blocks within minutes of meeting someone. Can you explain what you observe in a person’s tone, micro-reactions, or energy that allows you to read their emotional codes so quickly?
When I meet a client in person, I work in a structured and holistic way.
First, I observe the physical body. Posture, breathing patterns, muscle tension, micro-movements. The body always reveals a person’s internal state and reflects accumulated emotional responses. It silently communicates where stress is stored, where emotions have been suppressed, and how the nervous system is functioning.
Next, I analyse the voice, speech, and communication style: intonation, pauses, choice of words, facial expressions. At this level, key emotional patterns quickly emerge: suppressed feelings, anxiety, fears, guilt, or internal conflict.
The third level is the perception of the person’s psycho-emotional field. Through a highly developed intuitive sensitivity, I identify areas of tension and energetic distortion, most often caused by trauma and prolonged stress. These areas are gently neutralised through focused attention and therapeutic presence, helping the client’s system return to balance.
The fourth aspect of my work is a deep intuitive perception of the person, allowing me to read their internal programs and emotional essence by integrating information from the body, behaviour, and energetic field into a holistic understanding.
It is important to note that I do not always need to see a person physically. I am also able to determine their emotional state remotely, through text or voice messages, by sensing the vibration and structure of their expression.
This entire initial diagnostic process takes approximately 15 minutes and provides precise insight into the client’s emotional state and the deep-rooted causes of their emotional blocks.
In your experience, what are the most common suppressed emotions or hidden internal contradictions that people carry, often without realizing it? How do these subconscious elements show up in their daily lives?
In my practice, I observe that most people live in a state of deep inner unawareness, often without realising it.
At the first level, the most common suppressed emotions are unresolved resentment, repressed anger, guilt, and chronic anxiety. These states usually form in childhood or because of traumatic experiences when it was unsafe to express feelings openly. As a result, emotions do not disappear, they become embedded in the subconscious and the body, creating persistent inner tension.
At the second level, a hidden internal contradiction emerges between a person’s true nature and the identity they adopt for approval, safety, or social adaptation. This is where many begin to live in illusion, through automatic roles, imposed beliefs, and external scripts. This state can be compared to a form of psychological hypnosis in which a person can remain for years or even a lifetime, unaware that their decisions, reactions, and life choices are driven not by authentic self-awareness, but by subconscious programming.
At the third level, these patterns manifest in everyday life through:
- repetitive negative relationship patterns
- a sense of emptiness and loss of meaning
- emotional instability
- self-sabotage
- fear of intimacy
- chronic fatigue
- psychosomatic symptoms
A person sincerely believes that this is simply “their character,” “their destiny,” or “normal life,” while in reality they are operating from deeply imprinted subconscious conditioning.
Often my work is not only about processing trauma or emotion, but about gently dismantling this inner hypnosis. This illusory perception of reality to which the person has become accustomed. When this layer dissolves, the individual begins to truly see themselves for the first time, feel their authentic nature, and recognise who they are beyond fear and limitation.
This is the moment where genuine awakening begins, a transition from automation to awareness, from illusion to authentic presence and inner freedom.
You often talk about the phenomenon of “identity collapse.” What causes a person to lose connection with who they truly are, and why is this becoming more common in the modern world?
Identity collapse occurs when a person loses connection with themselves under the pressure of the external world. Modern society exists in a state of constant social chaos, instability, and uncertainty. People increasingly do not understand who they are, where they are going, or what they can rely on within themselves.
And uncertainty always generates fear.
Over time, fear ceases to be a temporary state and becomes part of the personality. People grow so accustomed to living in anxiety and tension that they begin to perceive it as normal. Fear becomes the dominant background of their existence, a state where it becomes exceptionally easy to lose oneself and replace the authentic self with an adaptive, convenient, and “safe” mask.
Most people fail to realise that the answers to the question “Who am I?” do not exist in the external world but reside in the deep layers of the subconscious, where the true origins of behaviour, emotional patterns, and core identity programming are stored. Without knowing themselves on this level, they live fragmented, guided by societal expectations, external scripts, and imposed roles.
In fear, a person constructs an illusory comfort zone, which is a zone of avoidance rather than awareness. Gradually, they lose contact with their own feelings, desires, and inner voice, replacing them with learned reactions and automated existence.
This is how identity collapse forms as a slow disconnection from one’s essence. Today it is becoming increasingly common due to information overload, social pressure, and constant comparison with others.
The central task of my work is to help a person return to their true self, through awareness, subconscious work, and restoration of lost inner connection. This is where the answers lie that cannot be found through logic or external reference points.
When someone experiences an emotional or psychological breakdown, what is the first step in rebuilding their inner clarity and restoring psychological resilience? How does your method help guide this process?
The first and most important step in recovery is a gentle return to the experienced state through an altered state of consciousness. I guide the client into a controlled, safe space where they can reconnect with the details of the situation, the emotions and internal experiences that caused the breakdown. This is not for retraumatisation, but for conscious re-experiencing and processing of an experience that was previously suppressed or blocked.
I then carefully transition the client into a more resourceful state using metaphors, symbolic imagery, and sound guidance. Through these elements, the subconscious begins to rewrite emotional memory, replacing destructive experiences with stabilising and supportive patterns. This creates a sense of safety, control, and inner stability.
In some cases, a deep trance alone is sufficient. In this state, the subconscious activates natural self-regulation and healing processes, as it contains both the source of trauma and the key to its transformation. The subconscious can restructure perception, release trapped emotions, and form new, healthier response patterns.
My role is not to impose new beliefs, but to create a space where the client’s system naturally transitions from chaos into balance. A stable positive pattern is formed, and the person stops reacting through fear, pain, or panic defence, beginning instead to act from awareness, calmness, and inner resilience.
This new emotional scenario becomes fixed at a deep level, influencing not only present states but future responses to stress. Over time, clients feel a return to self, greater stability, clarity, and an ability to handle life challenges without destructive reactions.
This is how psychological clarity is restored and a new internal foundation is formed, not through suppression of pain, but through its conscious transformation into strength and understanding.
Many people function in survival mode without noticing that their subconscious is overloaded. What subtle signs indicate that a person is nearing an inner breakdown or identity fragmentation?
Most people do not realise that prolonged survival mode slowly destroys their internal structure. Subconscious overload happens quietly, and the first signals appear subtly, through shifts in behaviour, sensation, and self-perception.
One of the earliest signs is unexplained fatigue, even after rest. The person feels as if their energy is “leaking,” accompanied by inner emptiness and loss of interest in what once brought joy.
Another signal is a sense of detachment from self. The person stops feeling alive and begins to function automatically, as if observing themselves from the outside. There is a loss of direction, confusion of desires, and the feeling that they no longer know who they truly are.
Other signs include:
- heightened irritability without clear cause
- emotional flatness or sudden mood swings
- difficulty concentrating
- anxiety without an identifiable source
- sleep disturbances
- loss of sense of time and presence
On a deeper level, the connection to emotions deteriorates, either numbing occurs or overwhelming uncontrolled emotional states dominate. Inner logic becomes fragmented, decisions become chaotic, and the perception of self loses cohesion.
Externally, the person may still function, but internally they are already at the edge of collapse.
This state reflects a profound imbalance where the psyche can no longer cope with accumulated suppressed emotions, unresolved experiences, and chronic stress.
My role is to recognise these signs before crisis points arise and gently guide the person back to wholeness, restoring connection with self and shifting the system from survival mode into conscious presence and inner stability.
Your VORTEX CODE™ methodology integrates hypnotherapy, energy alignment, and subconscious diagnostics. How do these elements work together to help individuals release emotional density and reconnect with their authentic self?
The VORTEX CODE™ methodology operates as an integrated system in which hypnotherapy, energy alignment, and subconscious diagnostics function as interconnected layers of deep transformation.
The first phase involves subconscious diagnostics, identifying where emotional density is stored within the psycho-emotional structure: accumulated fears, trauma, suppressed emotions, and unresolved internal conflicts. These zones generate chronic tension, self-sabotage, and disconnection from identity.
Hypnotherapy bypasses conscious defences and accesses core layers where the primary causes of distress reside. In this safe state, the client not only recalls but reprocesses and transforms experiences long embedded in the subconscious. This is not suppression. It is conscious release.
Simultaneously, energy alignment restores balance and nervous system stability, allowing the body to exit chronic stress mode and reclaim a sense of grounding, cohesion, and internal resilience.
These elements function as a unified process: The subconscious reveals the source, hypnosis transforms the experience, and energetic alignment stabilises the new state.
As a result, the individual releases emotional overload, regains clarity, and reconnects with their authentic nature. Free from distortion, fear, and imposed identities. This transformation reshapes emotional responses, behavioural patterns, and self-perception in daily life.
VORTEX CODE™ is not designed for temporary relief. It initiates a profound process of returning to one’s true self, restoring connection with genuine identity, inner power, and natural state of presence.
For someone struggling with burnout, emotional confusion, or a sense of “losing themselves,” what practical steps or mindset shifts can they begin implementing even before starting therapy?
When a person experiences burnout, emotional confusion, or a sense of losing themselves, it is crucial to understand one thing: this is not weakness, it is a signal of psychological overload.
The first step is to pause. Not to run deeper into activity, control, or external stimulation, but to consciously slow down. Even brief moments of silence allow the nervous system to initiate recovery and transition out of survival mode.
The second step is reclaiming the ability to feel. People often disconnect from their emotions out of fear of intensity. Begin by asking yourself:
“What am I feeling right now?”
“Where in my body do I feel it?”
“When was the last time I felt truly alive?”
The third step is to stop fighting yourself. Replace self-criticism with a gentle internal dialogue. The state of “losing myself” often arises from chronic self-violation and ignoring personal needs.
The fourth step is understanding that not everything must be controlled. Loss of identity begins where fear dictates decisions. Learning to release excessive control and allow imperfection restores authenticity.
The final and most essential shift is moving from the question, “How do I survive?” to “How do I feel alive?”
This shift opens the path to identity restoration. Often, these steps alone allow the person to begin hearing themselves again. Therapy then becomes not a rescue, but a conscious and profound journey back to authentic selfhood.
