Do you feel a connection to people on social media? I enjoy pictures, animal videos and light-hearted conversation, but it doesn’t make me feel deeply connected, which brings up the paradox of feeling lonely in our highly-connected world. Is there an increase in loneliness these days or is it just more evident with technology? Many of us have sky-high walls which we think protect us from pain based on past experiences. We want to prevent those feelings so we put distance between ourselves and others, even if we are in a love relationship with them. Who wants to be vulnerable? We might lose control, be disappointed… or even annihilated! We push others away, which works in opposition to our deepest desires: to be seen, heard and loved for who we truly are.

Join me for a discussion about how to stop loneliness in its tracks. This could be the day you decide to play intimately and vulnerably with others.
