SBS Greek Radio Interview
Vickie chats with Dina Gerolymou, describing her experiences inside and outside the ring that led her to choose psychotherapy as a profession, and of her struggle with mental health issues in her book The Boxer Within.
When she was struggling to overcome the difficulties she faced as a young woman, she found that boxing, and martial arts in general, offered a way out that often led to answers as well as solutions.
They led her to university studies in psychology. Now, Vickie has incorporated martial arts and lessons from her own involvement in these sports into the treatment methods she uses at Thelo Active Therapy.
"Usually the person who comes to consult me for the first time, will first enter the ring and then sit in the armchair," Vickie explains.
