Brexit Comes to Therapy: The Psychological Impact of Brexit on Expats

Brexit Comes to Therapy: The Psychological Impact of Brexit on Expats

Since the 23rd of June 2016, when the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union after more than 40 years of membership, I have been watching the drama that is Brexit unfold with both interest and incredulity. Much has been said and written regarding the impact this political crisis is having on the British economy, the healthcare system and the movement of people, but the impact of Brexit is much wider than this. Much less has been said about the three quarters of a million British Citizens that no longer reside in the UK but have chosen to live and work abroad. They are truly the forgotten casualties of Brexit.
