Expat World Psychologist

Global mobility changes more than your address; it shifts your body, mind, and energy in ways that often go unseen, even by the person living them.

My personal and professional experience tells me that acknowledging the emotional and energetic impact of change can soften the inner fight and help you realign with your new reality.

I’d love to hear from you:
• What has helped you adjust during relocations or transitions?
• Has validation made a difference for you, or not?

This reel is part of an ongoing conversation about the real human impact of relocation.

This is the recording of our free webinar (October 1st, 2025), where international experts, researchers, and therapists came together to address one of the most overlooked issues of our time:

The hidden mental health struggles of globally mobile leaders and their families.

Whether you are an expatriate, a Third Culture Kid, a parent, or a mental health professional, this conversation offers valuable tools to better understand, prevent, and respond to the challenges of global mobility.

Mi anécdota con Marian Rojas-Estape ocurre en el evento del pasado martes en Madrid, donde yo fotografié a decenas de desconocidos pero yo no aparecía en ninguna. Hasta que Marian se dio cuenta. Gracias a su sensibilidad, en medio de la multitud que la arrastra para que saliese en más fotos, ella paró. Ella escuchó pedir ayuda y dijo: “esperad, vamos a hacer una foto con ella, pobre”.

La foto salió borrosa (lo sé) pero lo que me llevé fue mucho más nítido: su gesto de parar, escuchar y atender a mi necesidad. Eso, para mí, es verdadero liderazgo. El que no solo transmite ideas desde un estrado, sino que es capaz de reconocer a las personas en la sala.

I haven’t even had time to properly share this with you…and yet, our new article already passed 100 views in just two days.

Why?

Because the content touches something deep.

But it took years to prove it.

Hundreds of participants.

Dozens of conversations.

And the collaboration of some brilliant trailblazers like Bianca Acevedo, PhD, Moises Betancort, Marta Sadurní, and also the support of Michael Pluess and many others, to finally translate what many of us fee, into what the scientific community will recognize.

📌 Here’s the core insight:

Highly sensitive mothers in expatriate contexts aren’t more vulnerable.

With the right support, they’re more adaptive.

More attuned.

More resilient.

For too long, Sensory Processing Sensitivity has been framed ONLY as fragility. Our data shows (and supports the data of many other colleagues in the field like Antonio Chacon, Manuela Pérez Chacón, Mariluz Morales Botello, PhD Neuroscience) that it can be a strength, especially when the world around you is in constant motion.

So If you’ve ever felt “too sensitive” while navigating change, this one’s for you.
