14 MAY 2022 · #20 Interview with Karina Lagarrigue - Clinical psychologist helping expatriated, cross-cultural and frequent travelling couples and families to THRIVE. Early-stage PhD in Sensory Processing Sensitivity and expat motherhood (recorded February 2022) Karina has moved around the world since she was only 15 days old. Hypersensitive and hyperempathetic from birth, passionate about communication and interculturality, Karina dedicates her time to studying and accompanying expatriation processes, transitions to international motherhood and fatherhood, and to understanding the interpersonal adaptation processes that occur between couples in all these contexts. Karina answered a few questions for us and gave us some great suggestions: What is unique for you in the experience of being an expat? If you could turn back the time, would you take the same decisions? Do you think that certain people have a personality or predisposition to be more able to leave their native country and move abroad than others? To easily find themselves again somewhere else? Which advice would you give to busy expat working mums, who may have lost the support of their family network once they moved abroad to help them build a new life? What are the different phases of settling abroad? Are there any? How can we support our kids during our ‘expat’ journey?
