Mindful Expat, With Dana Nelson, Ph.d.

What you’ll hear in this episode: • I'll share with you some updates about the podcast.  • We’ll discuss some common myths and misconceptions about counseling/psychotherapy that sometimes serve as barriers to seeking help. We'll debunk these myths and discuss what counseling/psychotherapy is really like.  Resources mentioned in this episode: • If you missed last week's episode about expat depression (which included some links to helpful resources for finding a therapist abroad), click here to check it out.  • The International Therapist Directory (mentioned back in Episode 8, when I interviewed the site’s creator, Josh Sandoz) is a wonderful resource for finding English-speaking therapists around the world who specialize in working with expats and third culture kids — this website has different sections for each country as well as a worldwide section, where you can find therapists who work with people remotely. • I also referred back to Episode 7, where we talked about how to balance acceptance with change.
