The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist ·

20: You and Your Body

The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist ·

2020/11/03

What is it that makes us flinch so from our own bodies? So many of us have complicated relationships with our bodies, and this is no less so as Third Culture Kids. We carry so many, often conflicting, body expectations that meeting our own gaze in the mirror can be painfully uncomfortable. I don't think it needs to be this way... Hosted on Acast.

19: Autumn and honouring what has been lost

The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist ·

18: When gratitude feels heavy

The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist ·

2020/10/20

In this episode I explore why I avoid gratitude journals and how I lean into joy in the self instead. This can feel so counter-intuitive but I believe it's crucial for those of us who feel guilt or shame about what we "should" feel grateful for. This is especially problematic regarding experiences in our lives that leave us with struggles and challenges. Privileging our experiences of joy can help reclaim gratitude in a way that is lighter and less heavy than when it is used to shut down our more

17: Gender and Identity

The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist ·

2020/10/13

Moving between cultures leads us to collect multiple (and at times, conflicting) experiences of our own gender. For every culture we encounter, there are different "right" and "wrong" ways of doing gender and this can complicate our experiences of identity. But complication becomes enrichment when we can map these out and make sense of where we have learnt our own sense of gender identity. And when we make sense of ourselves, then we have power over our self expression and sense of belonging. Hosted

16: Thoughts on grumpiness and trying to be OK

The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist ·

2020/10/06

I'm talking to you on a grumpy-no good-terrible day. And by taking a moment to understand why I'm feeling so rubbish, I can make more sense of my story. We so often stick with ways of measuring our okayness that worked when we were younger - for me this was achievement and lists. But what happens when what counts as achievement changes as often as the countries in which we live? How do we achieve okayness then? And get rid of the grump? Join me as I ponder my own way through... Hosted on Acast. See
