I am going to focus mainly on people moving abroad or expatriates going back home but the theory applies to anybody experiencing emotional stress when moving to unknown environments.
During big life changes, we experience stress, overload, or threat and often lose control of our emotions and make "thinking errors" or distortions about the reality. Our thinking process starts by interpretation and processing events that leads to our emotional and behavioural responses.
Great article by my "Twitter Friend" Anne Egros (@AnneEgros). Make sure to follow her blog, "Zest N Zen."
This is another article which should be required reading for EVERY expat.
