Expat & Immigrant Guilt

from Expats Listen Podcast Hosted by Expats Listen

When you move abroad, you are going to feel guilty. For what you left, for who you left, for what you’re choosing and what you aren’t choosing, for dozens of different things surrounding the topic of money, for being selfish and chasing your own dreams, for not speaking the local language “well enough”. You’re just going to feel guilty. A lot. Trust us. Ryan and Liz share a list of 10 forms of expat & immigrant guilt that we’re feeling at the moment. We’re pretty sure that at least a few of these are going to resonate. But what can you do about that guilt? Feeling guilty doesn’t change anything and it sure doesn’t fix anything. Ryan (a therapist for expats and immigrants) shares some advice on what to do about those feelings and how to best support yourself when things get tough.
