Re-Entry Series 6: The Emotional Toll of Repatriation
Have you ever grappled with the upheaval of moving countries and then moving back?
In this episode of Nomadic Diaries, the Re-Entry Series, hosts Doreen Cumberford and Linda Mueller engage with cross-cultural coach Jerry Jones to delve into the emotional and psychological effects of repatriation.
Jerry shares his compelling personal experiences transitioning from China back to the United States, highlighting how seemingly minor lifestyle disruptions can accumulate into significant emotional challenges. Jerry observed that "the transitions were emotionally taxing, leading to a lack of self-awareness about their impact on mental health".
We sense this resonates deeply with many who've undergone similar journeys. The discussion explores essential strategies for managing expectations when your repatriation vision doesn't match reality, while emphasizing the vital roles of community support and intentional self-care during these transitions.
