Social isolation is not healthy. As much as everyone has different needs for socilalizing, we know through studies that socializing is important and overcoming social isolation is an important step for your quality of life. At the same time, there is a reason for it and figuring out what the reason is and whether or not we can find a better reason than that one to overcome social isolation is a long process but can only lead to an improvement of your enjoyment of living.
As a sociologist, the power of social connection has been central to my research and work as an addiction counselor, helping persons suffering from addictions to substances, gambling, gaming, and internet addiction.

Social isolation is one of the hardest situations to live through, and this pandemic has taxed almost everyone's sense of connection and belonging. Literally one of the harshest punishment we give inmates is isolating them from others. So, whether you are physically isolated or feel alone in a crowd, you are not alone. Working through the emotional trauma associated with loneliness and isolation can help. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and Brene Brown's work to help you explore what blocks you from feeling connection, improve your self confidence, and take steps to reconnect.
