Third Culture Kid? You are not alone…

by | Sep 30, 2019 | Blog | 0 comments

Third Culture Kids are beautiful. They are complex. They have lives that astound, dismay, confound and inspire. Third Culture Kids are connectors, bridge-builders. They are also people pleasers, peace makers, community chasers. Third Culture Kids have no one personality profile, but they share so many experiences. The cumulative effect of their experiences creates a culture of its own, a kind of marginality in company – and good company at that! And at the same time, Third Culture-ness can make one feel so desperately alone, cut off, alienated.

But you know all this. You probably are one if you are reading this. So why reiterate it now?

Maybe you’ve forgotten. Maybe you’ve forgotten that you are complicated, paradoxical, ever-shifting in your position to the world around you. The fluidity and fuzziness of your identity has maybe rendered you speechless – unable to explain yourself to your Self, let alone to others.

What is your shape? We can take quizzes that advise of our body type, the clothes to wear, or our ideal career – but where can we go to figure out our Self?

Here.

I don’t know why you are on this page, browsing this website. I don’t know what curiosity, or hope, has brought you here.

But welcome.

You are welcome. Even if you aren’t sure who YOU is.

You are beautiful. You are complex. You have a life that astounds, dismays, confounds and inspires.

It’s okay if the shards of your Self are scattered, disparate, barely talking to each other. We can gather them in. You can nurture them into conversation, into harmony, into your own multi-faceted stained glass story.

Get in touch here, and let’s get started.

Third Culture Kids and Character Development

Third Culture Kids and Character Development

The Third Culture Kids I work with often feel their characters to be as fragmented as their stories. Instead of a story arch that sees a character develop over time, our stories can feel broken up, with distinct versions of our main character showing up in their different chapters. We can feel stuck with a plethora of under-developed protagonists, a sense of amorphous character ‘shape’ and unclear about our story’s direction as a result.

Control and Third Culture Kids

"I feel like a control-freak!" OR "It just sort of fell into my lap..." I've heard both from the Third Culture Kids I work with, and from myself too! I've noticed over the years that TCKs can have a complicated relationship with control. Some of us (or some of us some...

Third Culture Kids & Stability

Stability. What does that word invite in you? What do you see in your mind’s eye? It’s a word I’ve had a mixed relationship with all my life. I would crave it, try and find systems or plans that would get me it, and then as soon as I had it in hand, there would rise...
