Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with social isolation involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their feelings of loneliness and social withdrawal without judgment, while committing to actions that align with their values and foster connection. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic or negative social experiences that may contribute to isolation, reducing their emotional impact and promoting healing. SE addresses the physiological effects of social isolation, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance and safety. This holistic approach aims to reduce feelings of isolation, enhance social engagement, and improve overall emotional well-being.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we recognize that social isolation is often driven by underlying fears and emotional pain, such as fear of rejection, loss of control, or feelings of inadequacy. Our approach addresses these root causes through the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, helping clients uncover the “chief defenses” that lead them to withdraw from others—such as avoidance, self-protection, or distrust. By encouraging clients to do the opposite of these defenses, we guide them toward gradually re-engaging with the world around them in a safe and supportive way. This transformative process enables individuals to break down barriers to connection, rebuild their social confidence, and create meaningful relationships. As clients overcome isolation, they experience a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, enriching both their personal lives and relationships.
