The use of native speech in immigration is more than a way of conveying information. Native speech and the images associated with it carry an emotional charge that is difficult to convey in the language acquired. These words help to directly refer to personal experience, to the experience gained in the family, cultural and social environment at home. This is of great importance for psychotherapy.
While advising immigrants, I can observe how the meaning of the native language changes depending on the beginning of the introduction to the new linguistic and cultural reality. People who moved in adulthood are more associated with the symbols of their native speech. In a stressful situation, it is natural for a person to seek comfort and protection in a familiar, safe environment. For an immigrant who finds himself in a new environment, who has lost most of his social ties, his native language may be the only refuge.
For the practice of psychotherapy, it is important to know at what age a person moved to live in a new country. Those born in a new place often do not feel the need to turn to the culture of their parents, but the ability to communicate in the language of their ancestors (especially in a monolingual family) gives an advantage over their peers - the language of the parents becomes a means for intimate communication with relatives.
If a person finds himself in a new country already at school age, then in the future the native language will be the main one for solving problems related to issues of psychological safety, trust, gender identity, and a sense of confidence. As an adult, such an immigrant is more likely to go to a therapist who speaks his native language to find out about problems related to the relationship.
If the parents up to 6 years of age sufficiently supported the child and provided the necessary attention to his experiences, then the native language, in the future, will become an additional psychological support and in itself can be a means of therapy, as it will emotionally return him to the safe bosom of his family.
Take care of your native language for yourself and the health of your children.

Archetypes. Archetypes are the filling of our soul, it is the language in which we can speak with our unconscious.
