They said about us
Spanos Marios,
Civil servant
I made countless visits for over 6 years to dermatologists, orthopedists, and rheumatologists, due to the appearance of unexplained and unbearable pain throughout my body, but also due to the appearance of psoriasis after a while.
I underwent all kinds of treatments with strong medications, cortisone, and of course with many side effects. However, at the slightest daily difficulty and with the slightest pressure at work, I was faced with pain, numbness, and the disgusting image of a skin with wounds imprinted all over the surface of my body.
During a visit to a doctor, when I expressed the question "why me?" with my obvious discomfort,
He asked me, "Why is all this happening to you? Is your body trying to tell you something?"
I was stunned for a moment and asked him what he meant. He explained to me about somatization and told me that what was happening to me was psychosomatic, giving me the card of a specialist in psychosomatic therapy, Mr. Kokkinos.
From our very first meeting with him, I felt the security, understanding, and acceptance I needed.
Every meeting with him was very upsetting but also had answers.
to all my "whys".
Today, after a year, I have returned to life, I have no psoriasis flare-ups, I am no longer in pain, I do not need medication. I have taken several steps, I have understood the mechanisms used by the brain and the body and I am sure that I will continue to be healthy for many years with the knowledge I have acquired.

I am 34 years old.
At the age of 21 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
and lupus erythematosus.
After many years and many treatments, Christos came into my life. With a lot of understanding and acceptance
within a few sessions
we managed to get rid of it permanently
from autoimmune diseases.
After Christos, I learned to love myself.
and listen to my body,
because he knows!
Thank you Christos for the second life you gave me!

5 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that I never
I had never heard her name before.
Sarcoidosis!
It's an "invisible" disease. I looked strong and healthy on the outside, but inside I was in a constant battle with pain or fatigue or both.
Surrendering to the symptoms, I was unable to meet my family and professional obligations. One treatment was stronger than the other, but the improvement was minimal and short-lived.
I started reading medical studies, searching for patient groups on social media, and what everyone agreed on was how important it is to follow the treatment your doctor recommends. Among the many posts, I came across one by a German man who talked about the psychosomatic background of the disease. I asked my doctor and he confirmed the information.
Searching the internet I came across "accidentally?"
to Mr. Kokkinos. Our first meeting lasted 3 hours and was the most exciting and revealing thing that had ever happened to me. In a scientific way, but also with directness and empathy, the mechanism of the disease began to unfold after a while. It took a lot of patience on his part and little by little I began to gain the necessary self-knowledge. Today I can and do most of the things I love and had been deprived of in recent years.

15 years ago I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and until then I had never even taken aspirin.
I was in for a big shock when I learned that this is a disease that I will have forever in my life!
I learned that I would have to undergo continuous treatment to keep the disease in remission and that I would have flare-ups, a lot of pain, take cortisone and have to live with it.
The pain in my joints was unbearable and yet I had to continue with my life and work.
My life suddenly changed for the worse! In my misfortune, however, I was very lucky and I realized this much later.
Completely coincidentally, I met Christos, who made me understand why I developed this autoimmune disease.
Until then, it hadn't even crossed my mind that something was wrong and this autoimmune condition had developed in me.
Christos helped me understand why and how my body worked then.
I changed my thoughts, behavior and lifestyle. I got motivated! As a result, my life today has improved. I started doing things that I didn't do before and that had led me to this quagmire. Now I don't take medication anymore and I'm very well. My psychology has changed. No one had told me that I could get rid of rheumatoid arthritis. Since I met this man, I have become richer.

I suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since I was 32. Now my life continues normally, without problems, without pain, without any problems whatsoever!!!! I feel very lucky that Mr. Kokkinos found his way to me, who with his guidance and knowledge, helped me cope in all areas. When you emerge victorious after facing enormous difficulties before, you have the need to share it and publicly thank the people who helped you!!
Athanasiadis Nikolas,
Physical Education Teacher
Through discussion I found the strength to accept my problem initially and then find a way to approach and treat it. In the last 2 years, after 6 years of being stuck, I can and am now standing on my own two feet.
I understood that the symptoms that plagued me daily and limited my every activity were nothing more than the messages my body was giving me and I wasn't listening to them. Today I can perceive its messages at any moment and I am in touch with my needs and my emotions. I changed my life and direct it to where it is completely compatible with my inner voice and strength.
Panousakis Nasia,
Social media expert
Since I was 15 years old, I have been living with this beast inside me, called ulcerative colitis. I am 33 years old and all these years I have experienced every day the exhaustion of the last drop of my endurance, the last trace of my strength. My eyes remain empty, my flesh weakens from pain, my heart struggles, my dream fades and only one hope always flickers ... that this time too will pass. For 3 years now I have been making wedding plans with my sweetheart, I have a decent and demanding job, I am learning my rights, I will finally get my degree and despite my difficult experience, I continue my life with strength and dignity. Self-pity cannot be a solution or a way of life, but only a temporary way of relieving. Thank you Christos for standing by my side with acceptance and understanding all these years and giving me everything I needed to step into my power and win again.
my life.

The A and Z in the whole process is understanding and support for the patient, because each of us is different and needs a different approach. In this space I found what I needed. My quality of life improved significantly from the first period. I understood the mechanisms that the body uses to show its discomfort, in everything we think is logical to do!
Seek help from a specialist and don't let pain and illness prevent you from living every moment!

Τα παιδικά μου χρόνια δεν τα βίωσα κάτω από τις καλύτερες συνθήκες και δεν ήταν και τα πιο ασφαλή για ένα παιδί.
Στα 17 μου έχασα και τους δύο γονείς μου. Είχα ενοχλήσεις στην κοιλιά μου από το δημοτικό. Δεν είχα αδέρφια και συγγενείς να στηριχτώ και έτσι άφησα το σχολείο και άρχισα να δουλεύω σε ότι έβρισκα.
Οι ενοχλήσεις στο στομάχι αυξάνοταν και το έντερό μου σαν να είχε βαλθεί να με τιμωρεί κάθε φορά που πήγαινα να ξεκουραστώ και να χαλαρώσω. Πήγα στο νοσοκομείο και μετά από εξετάσεις διαγνώστηκα με αυτοάνοση ατροφική γαστρίτιδα και με σύνδρομο ευερέθιστου εντέρου. Παρά τις θεραπείες η ταλαιπωρία και ο πόνος δεν υποχωρούσαν. Σε μια επίσκεψη στα επείγοντα 3 χρόνια μετά ένας γαστρεντερολόγος μού σύστησε τον κ. Κόκκινο. Η προσέγγισή του ήταν από την αρχή άκρως ενδιαφέρουσα και κατανοητή. Με τη βοήθειά του ανακάλυψα, εκτός των άλλων, ότι στην περίπτωσή μου όλα ξεκίνησαν από την ανασφάλεια που προήλθε από τη μη μύηση στην αγάπη όταν ήμουν μικρός, από την απουσία των γονιών μου, την αυστηρότητα, την απόρριψη, τις συγκρούσεις μεταξύ τους και την ανασφάλεια που αυτό μου δημιουργούσε. Κατάλαβα στο παρόν κάτω από ποιες συνθήκες ενεργοποιούταν όλα αυτά μέσα από συμπτώματα και πόνο. Όταν νιώθουμε άλλο συναίσθημα εκτός από αγάπη και χαρά, δηλαδή νιώθουμε συναισθήματα που έχουν σαν βάση τον φόβο, όπως θλίψη, θυμό, ντροπή, μίσος, ενοχή, μνησικακία, ο ερπετοειδής μας εγκέφαλος τίθεται σε συναγερμό. Το «ζώο» που υπάρχει μέσα μας αισθάνεται σαν να διώκεται από ένα λιοντάρι και πρέπει να τραπεί σε φυγή. Το αίμα πρέπει να φύγει από το στομάχι και να πάει στα πόδια για να τρέξει. Με τον συναγερμό, δίνεται εντολή στα επινεφρίδια να παράγουν κορτιζόλη και αδρεναλίνη.
Με τη διαδικασία του συναγερμού απενεργοποιείται το πεπτικό μας σύστημα. Κατανοώντας το μηχανισμό των ασθενειών μου, έκανα τα απαραίτητα και έχω απαλλαγεί -μέσα σε λίγο σχετικά διάστημα- από τις ενοχλήσεις που είχα.
Προτρέπω τους γονείς να προσφέρουν αγάπη, αποδοχή και ασφάλεια στα παιδιά τους και τον καθένα που διαβάζει αυτό το κείμενο να γνωρίσει τον εαυτό του, γιατί με αυτόν τον τρόπο θα κατανοήσει τις λειτουργίες του εγκεφάλου, του σώματος, της ψυχής και της συμπεριφοράς του.

I owe a great deal of gratitude to the man who introduced me to Christos Kokkinos. When I went to his office in 2011, I was unable to understand what "boundaries" meant in a relationship for healthy behavior. I thought I knew how to recognize my emotions, but I was far from understanding the "needs" of my emotions and how they translated into behavior and consequently how to relate. The body has always given me feedback in its own way: accidents, tachycardias, rashes from time to time, infections and consequently antibiotics and the cycle of addiction continuing... Although all of this seemed relatively insignificant and perhaps expected all of this in relation to environmental conditions and stress levels, one of the countless things I learned through the sessions with Christos is that no physical manifestation is accidental and only physical. I gained a deep understanding of each emotion and the spectrum of each of them, the messages our body gives us, how emotions and physical symptoms are connected to human behavior, their origin and most importantly what to do, how to recognize them with honesty towards myself and how to act with self-love and self-respect. Although self-confidence is something I work on daily and perhaps for the rest of my life, working with Christos created points of reference in my soul, to which I refer every time and draw inexhaustible strength, faith and courage. I now welcome each physical symptom as a messenger, as a message of protection for what I am called to observe, what I have neglected in myself and as a mirror for others around me and therefore towards where my body and soul are asking me to direct my energy.

I met Christos in a postgraduate psychology course that I attended about 7 years ago. What impressed me was his modesty despite the fact that he had already successfully completed a huge course of studies in the fields of both physical and mental health. He is a man with broad and deep knowledge, who is interested in discovering new knowledge and, with research and consistency, going one step further. In addition, he is also very interested in the transmission of knowledge and of course its practical application in the everyday lives of the people who trust him. Lately, I have had the pleasure of training with him on the path of self-knowledge and inner change and from the first meetings I have been impressed by the knowledge I have gained about things that until recently I took for granted. Christos can easily be a mentor, guide, therapist, teacher and at the same time a friend! A man whom you can trust and feel by your side. Finally, I cannot help but mention the sweetness of his soul and his positivity for life. Undoubtedly, whoever decides to "work" with Christos as a guide will come out a winner and with a new perspective on the world and life.
Chronopoulou Maria,
Educator - Consultant
I have known Christos for over three decades! All these years he has been a source of inspiration, love, admiration and support for me. He is the richest person I know! Rich in emotions, knowledge, degrees, generosity, ways of support, new ideas, courage, strength, abilities that help him cope with difficult (personal and professional) circumstances... He is a man who supported and helped me - and continues to do so - by showing me my strengths and making me believe in myself, not to give up, to continue, to evolve. The way he does it is true and effective because it starts from his own example! He himself transforms, integrates and puts into practice what he learns, what he proposes, what he discovers, what he teaches. I feel grateful to know Christos!

Christos is unique! You will be surprised by his strong and diverse academic background! He has impressive communication, influence and team management skills! I attended the self-awareness seminar he organizes and it was AMAZING! I learned so much both on a personal but also on a professional level. In fact, I decided to continue with private sessions. Christos provides high value services but also cares about his customers in an authentic way!
Karatza Marianthi,

I met Christos more than 15 years ago and during this time I had the opportunity to work closely with his team but also receive health care guidance as a person. Christos is a unique person and a dedicated professional. His knowledge combined with extraordinary intelligence and robust experience around Psychosomatic Medicine and holistic approaches to health issues is stunning. He is also a great mentor and inspiring leader. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to deep dive in self-exploration and self-expansion or to lead his/her team to a whole new level of performance.
Xiromeritis Nikolaos,

I have had the honor of knowing Christos for over seven years. We met in the context of a training seminar that he organized and was crowned with complete success. The seminar helped me change my way of thinking by seeing things from a different perspective.
Christos is a person who has helped and supported me in my personal and professional career all this time. He shows me my strengths and weaknesses, helping me to constantly evolve.
Isaac Katerina,

Dr. Kokkinos is an enlightening mentor having an extensive experience in supporting mental health throughout different approaches depending on the needs. We can give him the title of Dr, coach, or mentor but first of all he is an inspirational professional who loves reshaping healthy people, from outside to inside. As a client, of him for more than a year, I would strongly recommend him to anyone who believes that it's about time to be a life changer.
