Question 31: Did you lie in answering any of the previous questions?

4 Re-entry patterns

  • Alienation: "I can't relate to anything I experienced - I'm going to dismiss it all as a bad dream."
  • Condemnation: "Americans are so materialistic and spoiled. I can't believe what a mess they are."
  • Reversion: "I know the experience impacted me, but this old lifestyle of mine is calling my name right now."
  • Integration: "I see my experience overseas for what it was and recognize the lessons it taught me - I'm making changes to my life."
