Guilt in the expat life…
Quiet, unspoken, and yet present in everyday moments.
– Guilt for leaving my home country…
– For not being able to communicate fluently…
– For not having completed my education in this country, feeling “not enough”…
– For not visiting family as often as they’d like…
– For wanting to rest during the holidays instead of stretching myself to meet everyone’s expectations…
– For not being able to find a job at the level I wish for – and wondering: What’s wrong with me?
– For not fully understanding the local culture – because “things are just different here,” and people don’t respond the way I’m used to…
– For not being able to explain to a doctor what’s wrong with me – feeling helpless, incomplete…
And yet, guilt always seeks punishment.
So we punish ourselves with physical pain, tension, exhaustion, anger towards our loved ones…
We build walls made of unspoken words, frustration, arguments.
Where are you carrying guilt in your expat journey?
Is it also trying to tell you something… from deep within?
In my work, there’s space for all of this.
With tenderness, without judgment.
With questions that open.
With a process that heals.
It is possible.
Let’s talk about how I can support you.
