Abstract
Migration is often viewed through political or economic lenses, yet its psychological dimensions remain underexplored. This editorial delves into the inner world of migrants, especially those from Iran who have recently resettled in Canada, revealing the emotional toll of leaving behind not only places but also parts of the self. Drawing from clinical experiences with immigrant clients, the article highlights key themes such as identity fragmentation, grief, cultural dissonance, and the hidden forms of psychological distress—including addiction and intergenerational tension. It argues for a redefinition of migration as an existential passage rather than a mere geographic transition. Emphasizing the need for culturally responsive therapeutic frameworks, the piece calls for greater societal and institutional support to help migrants unpack their emotional burdens, reclaim meaning, and build new narratives of belonging.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
