Two Worlds, One Me
Ruth Hughes
In this episode, I bring you Ruth Hughes. Ruth is a positive psychology expert and specialises in cultural shock. She has a particular interest in supporting resilience in those experiencing change, through facilitating a greater understanding of the emotional impact of culture shock on identity.
Ruth has experienced cultural shock herself and she takes us through her very interesting experiences in Zambia, where she lived for over 10 years. She explains the workings of positive psychology and how cultural shock works, its curve and different stages of it. Ruth is a true professional and this very engaging conversation will help you understand better why you feel what you feel when you change cultures. This is a profoundly stimulating conversation and I am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I did. Enjoy!
