Gestalt Therapy - A podcast about living here and now

Episode 1 - Long Term Expat

Living as an expat abroad, away from your family and friends and creating this whole new life in another country with another culture is usually inspiring at the beginning and as time goes by also challenging.

In this episode I talk about Hugo who is made up of a lot of my clients but is also part of me as I too am an expat living for more then 25 years outside of my native country Denmark.

What happens when Hugo goes back to his home country, how does he feel when he just arrives. How can he fit in again with his family and friends, whose lives have continued without him? What makes it hard to leave his country and his family again and when he arrives “home”, he questions where is “home” really.

Gestalt Therapy has helped Hugo find a new awareness, how to make sense of this expat life by looking at it from a different angle.

I end this episode with a quote from Frederick S. Perls, the father of Gestalt Therapy;

“Nobody can stand the truth if it is told to him. Truth can be tolerated only if you discover it yourself, because then the pride of discovery makes the truth agreeable.”
