Feeling lonely, disconnected or lacking in purpose?
Profound or prolonged loneliness can negatively affect our careers and relationships, as well as our mental, physical and emotional health. That's concerning, but here's one very comforting truth:
​
Connection is in our DNA.​​​
​Feelings of loneliness aren't a fault or a failing. It's as natural to feel lonely sometimes as it is to feel thirsty, hungry, or cold.
Humans are only capable of loneliness because we have an innate social capacity... which means that being human is the problem.
​
It's also the solution.
​
In fact, you have a unique combination of strengths, which you can develop to enjoy a deeply purposeful, richly connected life.
​
It's okay to feel lonely, but you don't have to stay that way... and you don't have to deal with it alone.

​Who might experience loneliness? Almost anyone.
Loneliness is simply an indicator that there's a gap between the connection that we need or want, and the connection that we currently have. This usually indicates a deficit in the quality or quantity of our social connections — or sometimes both. We need to pay attention to the connection we have with ourselves, too.
​
If you have no social or emotional intelligence whatsoever, and no awareness of yourself and your circumstances... well, congratulations. You might never experience loneliness.
For the rest of us, loneliness is a perfectly normal human emotion, which can affect us at different times across our lifespan. ​​
We all have different ways of experiencing or expressing loneliness. There can be a stigma around loneliness, so we might try to suppress or deny it. Loneliness may mimic or accompany burnout or compulsive behaviours, making it hard to identify.
​​​The great news is that once we've identified and acknowledged feelings of loneliness, we can begin to claim agency over our social wellbeing.
Claiming agency is important. Just as we're able to make choices (like eating more vegetables or moving our bodies) to improve our physical health, we can improve our social wellbeing by choosing to cultivate healthy social habits and lean into our unique social strengths.

Please book a consultation, and I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
