The biggest lesson I\u2019ve learnt since starting this podcast is that the majority of us struggle - and the emotional rollercoaster can take us by surprise as we rebuild our lives in a new place. Insecurity, loneliness, shame, regret\u2026 These are just some of the emotions that many of us face. SO for this episode, I\u2019m joined by a very special guest - Gabriela Encina - A licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping over 400 people find happiness after their big move. Together, we chat about where to even START when it comes to acknowledging and tackling your emotional struggles. We discuss the most common challenges that Gabriela sees her clients face (guilt, self-sabotage, dependency...) and we finish off with some deep thoughts on homesickness & culture shock.   Links & Resources: Gabriela's Website: gabriela-encina.com  Connect with Gabriela on LinkedIn: Click here Join the New to Canada Academy: Learn more Download my 50 free tips from newcomers to Canada: What they wish they knew before they moved! https:\/\/thenewcomercollective.com\/canada-tips\/  Follow me on Instagram: @TheNewcomerCollective  For more about us and what we do, check out our website: TheNewcomerCollective.com ","author_name":"The New to Canada Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/thenewcomercollective.com\/","html":"
