Loneliness

2421080943It weighs heavy on your heart…

Sometimes, loneliness pulls at us, even when we’re surrounded by people.

It’s painful. And after a while, it can start to feel like this is just how life is.

Maybe you don’t have the close relationships you long for.

Or you have those relationships, but something feels like it’s missing.

All you really want is for SOMEONE to see you – SOMEONE who really understands.

Loneliness is more common than ever.

It’s kind of like a side-effect of living in the modern world. We live in a time of increasing independence, busy schedules, and fewer built-in ways to form deep, lasting relationships. It’s easy to feel isolated, even in a crowd.

We’re connected through social media, texts, and endless notifications. But it’s a superficial connection. Most of us feel more disconnected than ever before.

Add to that the pressures of success, self-sufficiency, and the fear of vulnerability…

Loneliness can feel like an unshakable part of life.

272817248We’ll start by exploring YOUR loneliness.

There are different kinds, and they affect us differently.

  • Social loneliness – Not having enough friends or community or feeling left out.
  • Emotional loneliness – Feeling like no one really gets you, even if you have people around.
  • Romantic loneliness – Wishing for love and intimacy but struggling to find or sustain it.
  • Existential loneliness – A deep sense of isolation, like you’re separate from life itself.

Your loneliness is real. Let’s address it.

There are behavioral and thought patterns contributing to your loneliness.

Self-doubt…

Fear of rejection…

Old wounds…

They can make connection feel impossible.

Loneliness isn’t really about not having enough people in your life. It’s often about how YOU feel in relation to yourself and others.

That’s where therapy comes in. We’ll do a deep exploration of WHY you’ve developed your current relationship patterns, and we’ll use techniques that help you feel grounded and connected to who YOU are.

We’ll break the patterns creating isolation on the inside and loneliness on the outside.
