The Diaspora Therapist – By Claudia Nneka Hirsch

Healing the Soul Across Continents. The journey of migration is often celebrated for its opportunities, but the emotional cost is rarely discussed. In “The Diaspora Therapist,” Claudia Nneka Hirsch shines a light on the psychological complexities of the diaspora experience—especially for African men who are often taught to hide their vulnerability behind a mask of strength.

Drawing from her life as a Nigerian-German woman, wife, and mother, Hirsch explores how the intersection of culture, identity, and displacement affects our relationships and mental well-being. This book is a call to emotional honesty. It shows that true strength lies in confronting our inner truths and that healing begins when we stop pretending. Whether you are living abroad, planning to move, or supporting a loved one “overseas,” this book provides the empathy and insight needed to navigate the diaspora with a healthy heart.
