Every American expat I know has a similar-ish process where they have to get over the fear/anxiety from living in the US. It’s a proper dinner topic. So yes, I assume it’s typical. Perhaps not 1:1, but there are always similar elements.
Edit to add: everyone says they never noticed it while living there. They only noticed it after the first few months/years when it was no longer present.
