A common issue reported by those who move internationally for professional or personal reasons is that often, by leaving behind a country, they feel they have left behind a part of themselves.<\/p>\n

\n

This is especially true if the decision to move abroad is necessary in order to follow a partner or loved one. Most often it is women who follow their husbands on an international move, not the other way around.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From having their own career, a support network, friends and a well established comfort zone, they suddenly end up having to start again from zero. This can have a profound impact on their wellbeing and life satisfaction and may make it difficult to enjoy the many different benefits that international mobility has. Common symptoms are feelings of sadness and loss, the impression that the new culture is just too different to adjust to, a lack of energy and drive to engage in local activities, a feeling of loneliness and maybe even pure regret about the decision to move abroad. Sometimes, the only solution seems to just go back home, the sooner the better. But there are other ways of dealing with this situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
