For coming home

The Repatriation Workbook

Everyone prepares you for going. Almost no one prepares you for coming back.

Reverse culture shock is real, common, and often harder than the move away ever was. This workbook helps you name the strange grief of coming home, feel less like a stranger in a familiar place, reconnect with the people who stayed, and slowly build a life here as the person you have become.

What’s inside

The homecoming no one prepares you for.

Seven modules across two parts, from the disorientation of re-entry to becoming whole where you landed.

Part One

The Re-Entry

  • The Homecoming That Wasn’t
  • A Stranger in a Familiar Place
  • The Change No One Sees
Part Two

Becoming Whole Here

  • Homesick for There
  • The Friends Who Stayed
  • What You’re Keeping
  • A Life Here, On New Terms
Who it’s for
