This workshop explores how migration can affect family relationships and emotional expectations across distance. Many immigrants experience a shift in roles within their families, often accompanied by feelings of responsibility, pressure, or guilt. The session focuses on understanding these dynamics and developing practical tools for maintaining supportive relationships while protecting personal well-being.
Topics covered include:
- How migration can change family roles and expectations
- Common experiences of immigrant guilt and emotional responsibility
- Why guilt often appears even when no one is doing anything wrong
- The impact of distance on communication and family dynamics
- Recognizing personal limits and emotional capacity
- Identifying situations where setting boundaries may be necessary
- Practical tools for communicating boundaries respectfully and assertively
- Strategies for maintaining connection with family without becoming overwhelmed
Participants will engage in reflective exercises, discussion, and short communication practices designed to help them better understand their own experiences and develop language for navigating difficult conversations with family members across borders.
The workshop will be guided by:
Psychologist Pola (MSc Clinical Psychology), who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience as an immigrant to her work with internationals facing anxiety, stress and adaptation challenges.
