Live after moving abroad: The Psychology of Emigration and Relationships

Moving to another country is more than a change of location. It is a profound psychological process that affects identity, relationships, and the entire family system.

In this talk we will explore:

• • the stages of adaptation most migrants experience after relocation
• • why cultural shock, fatigue, and emotional ups and downs appear
• • how roles and relationships inside families change after a move
• • the particular challenges women may face, especially when children are involved
• • the signs of psychological overload during adaptation
• • why different people go through emigration in very different ways

We will also talk about an important aspect of migration that is often overlooked. Emigration can become not only a challenge but also a powerful process of self-discovery and psychological development.

At the end of the talk we will also discuss how personality structure and self-regulation skills influence the way people adapt to life in a new country.
