Have you or are you experiencing Loneliness or Emotional Isolation? If so this solitary experience can be a precursor to chronic physical disease. Self-harm or self-care will usually be the response. The moment of choice between those two directions can be a pivotal moment in your life. The lower the level of emotional pain, the easier it is to rationally respond to your experience and reach out to deal with the these difficult challenges and feelings. In this episode I share some of my own story around this, as well as my experience of working with many people dealing with the conflict between the choice of self-harm eg addiction, or self-care eg health strategies. If you identify with any of this, then make sure you listen to part two, where we will look at specific illnesses or pain that could show up, if you are unable to connect with healthy and loving social interaction.
