I have worked with several people experiencing the phenomena called 'Third Culture Kids', a name used to describe people who have moved to the UK expecting to feel at home and fit in, but who found it a struggle to settle. There are a number of helpful ways to work with the anxiety and loss of confidence that arises when we don't feel accepted or understood. |
