Dimitra Didangelou having completed her graduate degree in psychology and postgraduate diploma on Media Psychology, she worked as a journalist for Greek news media organisations (ERT, NEA, etc) and subsequently founded the online magazine “Psychografimata” and the “Expressing MySelf Institute”.
Having generated thousands of pages of text for both personal and professional benefit, she realised the power of the written word and turned to using it as a tool in her work as a psychologist, through therapeutic writing and bibliotherapy. The quote that most closely describes Dimitra is Margaret Atwood’s famous “a word after a word after a word is power”.
Her stories are based on true events, as she believes that life transcends all imagination.
For the last few years she has been residing in Pelion and working online globally.
Her TEDx talk can be viewed here.
