Are you a therapist working with expats/internationals, or perhaps an expat yourself navigating the mental health journey? Put your feet up, uncork that bottle of wine you've been saving, and let me take you on a 20-minute exploration into "Expat-Informed Psychotherapy: A Deeper Dive into Cross-Cultural Mental Health Care". 🌍🍷

But if you're short on time, here's the gist: "An expat-informed approach to therapy is, at its heart, an exercise in cross-cultural translation, seeking to bridge the gaps and create a shared understanding that respects and values the expat's unique cultural and linguistic context, whilst also nurturing the psychic nature that binds us all".

There’s still a lot to research and figure out. So let's work together to share knowledge and best practices as it is not the purview of any one researcher or practitioner, but an endeavor we can only collectively understand. Cheers to that!
