Social Isolation
Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Social isolation can occur for a variety of reasons; with the pandemic an aspect of this has been forced on us; sometimes it happens after a difficult experience; one where he felt it affected our sense of self or identity. It can leave a indelible mark on us. It involves going out again, taking some risks; otherwise we don't give ourselves the opportunity for a new experience. Also see resources for Shame. Shame can be incapacitating if not addressed as it thrives on secrecy.

Social Isolation
Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
Many of my clients, to at least some degree, are feeling isolated and crave more connection in their lives. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Our personal identities—how we're generally treated in society—and our past experiences in relationships may also be shaping that disconnect. Relational Therapy is especially well suited to explore how this is happening for you. What's missing in your current connections? What's getting in the way of intimacy and relationship-building?What's your unique way of connecting—how can we grow and appreciate that? How is your relationship with yourself developing?
In my approach, the therapeutic relationship is a core part of healing: the experience of someone being curious, compassionate, and accountable to you can, over time, shift the way you experience yourself and others. I'll be with you in the feelings of isolation—whether that's a painful, stuck, protected, infuriating, or hopeless space—while also holding all the possibilities for finding the connections you're craving and deserve.

Social Isolation
New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Naturally humans are social creatures yet social relationships and interactions, for many people, can be a source of discomfort and pain. There's a huge difference between taking time to be alone and feeling isolated - when we chose to spend time alone we find joy and comfort in this. When we're isolated, we either feel we have no one to turn to, we might get the feeling that nobody cares about us, or going out or spending time around others might cause us great levels of stress, worry, or fear.
In a modern and post-pandemic world, social isolation is becoming more and more common. While it can be a side effect of the fast paced life style and shift to virtual work, social isolation is often a symptom of another mental health condition and an attempt to find relief from it. For example, people who have experienced a traumatic event might choose to self-isolate to protect themselves, or someone who is experiencing depression might self-isolate because they have lost joy in social interactions.
Our therapists can help you get to the root of what is causing the desire to isolate socially and can provide you with evidence-based support to heal and create a meaningful and fulfilling social life.

Social Isolation
JP Robichaud
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social Isolation experiences are more common now than they've ever been. The Pandemic has resulted in a significant amount of (in many ways) non-consensual social isolation. For some people, the distance from friends and family has resulted in a great deal of unhappiness, uncertainty, and depression. For others, who experienced social isolation even before the pandemic, finding a way to connection has always been challenging. We can talk about why that is, how it affects you, and what choices you might have to move through these experiences.
