We naturally crave community and connection, yet many of us feel disconnected and lonely despite the high level of interaction on social media. 

We may sometimes feel distant and unable to reach out to people from our workplace, community, friendship groups, and sometimes even our family. This can negatively impact our mental health.

The points John-Paul Davies and I talk about are:

•⁠ ⁠What makes us feel lonely?

•⁠ ⁠⁠What can we do about it?

•⁠ ⁠⁠How does loneliness affect men? 

The key takeaway from this episode is that to be connected with others, and less lonely, one needs to prioritise time to connect with oneself.

John-Paul is an experienced therapist, and has worked as a solicitor for the first half of his career. He has published a self-help book, Finding a Balanced Connection, and written about a range of wellbeing and psychological topics.
