Globalization and progress in transportation and communication media have determined that migration and expatriation (temporary or permanent) are a frequent phenomenon in our times.

For expatriates and their families, appropriation of the new country is a challenge that includes organization of structures, activities, social networks and functions, according to their personal needs.

Previous preparation of all family members to face the cultural impact, as well as support during this process, are essential to obtain positive outcomes and to prevent crisis.

Important changes and subsequent adjustments are often minimized or underestimated, which results in feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, confusion, frustration and guilt.

Helplessness is the most frequent mindset. There are specific mourning processes, life stages that conclude, uncertainty about the future.

But there is also a great opportunity for learning and enrichment: FOCUSED PSYCHOTHERAPY. This approach enables a real process of “rebirth”, from the initial disorganization into the acquisition and use of personal resources to achieve stability and balance.
