Angeliki Yiassemides, PhD, is a developmental psychologist (MA, MPhil, Columbia University). She holds a doctorate in Jungian (Analytical) Psychology from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom. Her research interests span several areas such the concept of time in psychoanalytic thinking; the function of synchronicity in everyday life and its relation to our inner and outer temporal experience; the parallels between the paradigms of Quantum Mechanics and Analytical Psychology. Angeliki has worked with young children, adolescents and parents in educational settings, as well as with adults in mental institutions and psychiatric units. She is currently in private practice with adults. She lives and works in Nicosia, Cyprus.In this TEDxNicosia talk, Angeliki Yiassemides, invites us to journey beyond the collective splits that are found in our cultures and towards a common dream. This is an individual choice: by identifying and confronting the shadowed parts of our psyche we can escape the collective pressure and lead the way to a more self- actualized life. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. * (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
