35 | How do you integrate in Denmark AND maintain your own cultural identity?

Derek and Annie are back with Nanna Hauch, a licensed family and couples therapist who specializes in helping the international community in Denmark. Annie receives advice on how families can stay connected to their own culture while integrating into Danish society. Nanna shares some of the challenges that her family faced while living abroad and when repatriating and moving back to Denmark. Derek gets advice on how Danish work culture can become an adjustment and mental health factor for internationals working in Denmark.

Once again, Nanna provides valuable insights into the unique mental health challenges faced by Denmark’s international community. Nanna offers a bit of podcast therapy to the What Are You Doing in Denmark community. She even invites you to join her free webinar on reverse culture shock when moving back to your country and culture of origin. Details below:
