Fear of dying, or fear of living? | Achilleas Koukkides | TEDxNicosia

Do we lose control when we learn of a fatal illness? Being fearful of the loss of full control in our lives explained through the experience and work of a psychologist. Achilleas Koukkides pursued clinical psychology in Paris by mistake; he worked in places led by coincidence and found himself in hospices and hospitals with cancer patients, dying children and adults, breaking bad news to people who wanted someone to tell them that everything will go well, hugging children and crying over bodies of fighters for their life. He notes: "My life experience has been my memories of an after-war neighborhood and lots of gasping for air. But it was authentic, bright by the light of truthful relationships and human contacts. I have been passionate for people’s feelings and their desires for grief and life, fear and man’s freewill." Achilleas works as a clinical psychologist and adores animals. "I love all seasons and all hours of the day, not every day," he says. "I observe my internal battles and often use my mind more than other functions. I find racism to be an insecurity and believe in the work of individuation for a more human earth." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
