The Expat Therapist: Navigating Mental Health and Dreams Abroad
062 When the Lights Go Out..
A country-wide blackout hit Spain this week—and instead of spiraling, I found myself surprisingly calm. This episode is about what that moment revealed: the peace I’ve built since moving abroad.
I share the contrast between how I would’ve reacted years ago versus now, how living abroad helped regulate my nervous system, and why true safety isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about who you are when everything goes dark.
If you’ve ever wondered whether the inner work actually makes a difference... this is the proof.
✨ We dive into:
- How living abroad retrained my nervous system
- The difference between survival mode and real peace
- Why external chaos doesn’t shake you when you’re internally anchored
- The kind of emotional stability I now help my clients create
