From Shame to Pride: Navigating Cultural Displacement with Anastasia Piatakhina Gire

In this episode of Therapist Confidential, Travis Heath speaks with international and multilingual psychotherapist Anastasia Piatakhina Gire about therapy across borders. Based in Paris and working with clients around the world, Anastasia specializes in working with displaced, expatriate, immigrant, and highly mobile populations. Together, they explore how language, culture, power, and history shape the therapeutic relationship, and why displacement—whether physical or emotional—can be deeply traumatic. Anastasia introduces the concept of displacement as an existential experience, discusses working therapeutically in multiple languages, and reflects on identity, shame, belonging, and the meaning of home in a globalized world. This episode offers a rich, relational, and deeply human exploration of psychotherapy in motion.
