Jeannette is experiencing "re-entry shock."


Re-entry shock, additionally alluded to as reverse culture shock,is REAL and it is NORMAL.

85% of individuals coming back from abroad have some sort of trouble with reentry. In the event that you are experiencing issues re-acclimating to life in the U.S., you are not the only one.

Re-entry shock can be astounding and testing in an unexpected way. You hope to experience a change period when living in another nation. However, you don't hope to need to re-conform to life in your nation of origin. Sometimes you don't understand the amount you've developed and changed until the point that you return home.
