We continue our series on Culture Shock, but in this week’s episode, we are reversing the shock to discuss the common experiences expats endure when they return “home” after living abroad.

Many refer to this as ‘reverse culture shock’ and quite honestly it can be even harder than the initial shock of living in a foreign country.

It can be painful to be faced with the feeling of being misunderstood or disconnected from the place and people you were once immersed in which can be an isolating experience.

So we hope that today’s conversation helps you know you’re not alone in your feelings as you reacclimate to living in your home country. And give you some helpful tips for your readjustment back home.
