Expat Counseling
Salzburg Austria
 

"You are not alone."
 

 

As expat in Austria, you are probably familiar with the challenges of adapting to a new culture, language and environment. Whether you are planning to move to another country, have just arrived or are returning after years abroad, moving to a new country is life-changing and can be mentally stressful.

 

Are you familiar with the following?  

  • Culture shock and difficulties in adapting : The new environment, customs and mentality can seem alienating and lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness.
  • Language barriers : Everyday communication can be made difficult by language difficulties, which can lead to misunderstandings and frustration.
  • Uprooting and loss of social networks : Leaving behind family and friends can lead to grief, loneliness and a feeling of being alone.
  • Loss of identity and crisis of meaning : Adapting to the new culture and way of life can cause the sense of identity to fade and lead to a crisis of meaning.
  • Professional challenges : Getting qualifications recognized and finding a new job can be difficult and lead to stress and uncertainty.

 

Problems that may arise?
 

 

If these challenges are not addressed, they can lead to serious problems such as:

 

 

  • Anxiety and depression : The mental stress can lead to anxiety, depressive moods and a loss of joy in life.
  • Burnout and exhaustion : The constant pressure to adapt and meet new challenges can lead to burnout and physical exhaustion.
  • Relationship problems : The tension and new living conditions can lead to conflicts in the partnership and family.
  • Physical complaints : Psychological stress can also affect the body and lead to sleep disorders, headaches and gastrointestinal problems.
