In this episode, I talk about spending time alone and being alone with your own thoughts, as well as the roles that self-care plays in this. I also stress the importance of making yourself a priority in your own life and cultivating healthy boundaries. I end this episode by talking about a very interesting paper by Coplan, R. J. et al. titled “Seeking more solitude: Conceptualization, assessment, and implications of aloneliness”.
