73. Lonely in crowded places (this isn't a country music song)
In this episode, we're diving into a crucial topic that affects so many of us: loneliness and isolation. We're here to guide you through the science, emotions, and strategies to break free from these barriers. You'll tap into the heart of human connection and come away with some tips on how to embrace the joy of meaningful interactions and relationships.
Key bits from this episode include:
- Loneliness and isolation might feel like opposites of joy, but they can teach us a lot about ourselves and the connections we crave.
- Learn a simple, yet powerful practice to tune into your body and foster openness even in the face of pain. It's all about recognizing those physical sensations and gently shifting them towards a more open space.
- Understand your needs when it comes to both longing for connection and finding peace in solitude.
