Dear fellow Retreat participants,
Greetings! My name is Ioanna Laniti, and it is both an honor and a privilege to be
joining you on this profound journey of emotional exploration and growth. Before we commence our shared voyage, allow me to offer a glimpse into my background and aspirations for our time together.
As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, I invite you to join me with an open mind and an open heart. Emotions are the essence of our human experience, shaping our thoughts, actions, and interactions with the world around us. Yet, often they remain unexplored, misunderstood, or even suppressed. Let us embrace the full spectrum of human emotions, honoring each feeling as a valuable messenger guiding us towards greater self-awareness and inner peace.
I bring to this retreat a wealth of experience and expertise in the realm of human emotions and behavior. Having earned my bachelor's degree from Keele University in the UK and subsequently pursued my master's and doctoral degrees at Hofstra University in the USA, I have had the privilege of delving deep into the intricacies of psychology and psychotherapy.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity of both practising as a clinical psychologist and sharing my knowledge as an educator. As a lecturer at the university level, I have had the chance to work with aspiring psychology students, nurturing their understanding of the human psyche and fostering their passion for
emotional well-being.
My professional journey has led me to work extensively with diverse populations, including children with autism as well as individuals battling with clinical disorders or seeking guidance and support in navigating the complexities of human emotions. For the past fifteen years, I have served as a clinical psychologist in private practice, where I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of emotional awareness and healing. Guiding individuals through their journeys of self-discovery and growth has been a profoundly rewarding experience, reaffirming my belief in the inherent capacity for change and resilience within each of us.
During our time together at this retreat, I am excited to share my insights and expertise through lectures and practical exercises aimed at deepening our understanding of emotions and their significance in our lives. Through engaging discussions and experiential learning, my aim is to inspire and empower each of you
to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
Together, let us explore the depths of our emotional landscape, embracing every facet of our humanity with courage, compassion, and curiosity. May this retreat be a catalyst for profound transformation and lasting connections, as we journey towards greater self-awareness, authenticity, and fulfillment.
With gratitude and anticipation,
Ioanna Laniti, Ph. D
