Therapy with TCKs focuses on exploring the loss and grief they Carry Inside
Expat life brings lots of opportunities to see the world and for young people to become adaptable and think globally, however the repeated cycle of separation and loss of a familiar environment, friends and teachers can be difficult to bring about feelings that are difficult to make sense of.
Therapy with TCKs focuses on exploring the loss and grief that these individuals carry inside but are not encouraged to get in touch with.
- The loss of a sense of self
- The loss of home
- The loss of identity
Exploring these losses and the unprocessed grief that accompany them can give TCKs relief from internal turmoil that they often carry. These feelings, if left unprocessed, could cause psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety.
