FOR ANYONE WHO'S LIVED BETWEEN OR AMONG CULTURES:
◉ Map every move you made before age 18. Where you lived, how long, and whether anyone asked how you felt about it. The pattern matters as much as the number. You'll see yours laid out for the first time.
◉ Understand why you read rooms the way you do. You walk in and immediately scan every person before saying a word. That's not anxiety. That's an advanced survival skill you built from constantly entering new spaces. This assessment helps you see it for what it is.
◉ See how moving shaped your attachment patterns. Do you let go too easily. Hold on too long. Avoid getting close in the first place. Dr. Warter's research shows clear patterns in how TCKs connect. This section helps you find yours.
◉ Stop internalizing "what did I do wrong." TCKs are very susceptible to blaming themselves when the context was the problem. This assessment helps you separate the two.
◉ Walk away with Dr. Warter's three tips for thriving as a TCK. Trust your intuition. Learn to depend on others. And make transitions playful. Each one comes with a prompt to put it into practice this week.
