Gestalt Therapy - Living Here and Now22 Maalis 2021

Long Term Expat - Living like a stranger in both worlds

Living as an expat abroad and dealing with different countries and cultures can be challenging.

In this episode I talk about Hugo who is made up of a lot of my clients but is also part of me as I too am an expat living for more than 25 years outside of my native country Denmark.

What happens when Hugo goes back to his home country, how does he feel when he just arrives?. How can he fit in again with his family and friends, whose lives have continued without him? What makes it hard to leave his country and his family again? And when he arrives “home”, he questions where is “home” really.

Gestalt Therapy has helped Hugo find a new awareness, how to make sense of this expat life by looking at it from a different angle. Listen to this episode to find out what this different angle is.

I end this episode with a quote from Frederick S. Perls, the father of Gestalt Therapy;

“ Nobody can stand the truth if it is told to him. Truth can be tolerated only if you discover it yourself, because then the pride of discovery makes the truth agreeable.”
