Between Savannahs and Cornfields

Between Savannahs and Cornfields

In the debut episode of A Therapist’s Mailbox — titled Between Savannahs and Cornfields — therapist Philip Andersson received a letter from an American woman who grew up in Kenya. Through analysis inspired by psychodynamic psychotherapy, he examines how culture, place, and community shaped her identity and influenced her sense of belonging. The episode invites reflection on how childhood, language, and environment leave lasting marks on our personality — and what it means to belong (or not) when you grow up between worlds. Listen if you’re curious about how our early environments shape who we become — and how we can begin to understand and heal the parts of ourselves that feel divided. https://www.wherapy.com/thirdculturekidtherapy [https://www.wherapy.com/thirdculturekidtherapy] Contact: info@wherapy.com * Podcast art has been provided by the person featured in the podcast.
