In today's episode, I'm talking about the loneliness you can feel in a crowded room — and why I think it might be the most dangerous kind. A client of mine hadn't left her house in weeks, completely convinced she needed to stay in her bed. I understood that completely. Because I know what it is to be right there, surrounded by people, with the ice forming around my heart and nothing getting in. And then someone sparks up a conversation — and everything starts to melt. Johann Hari writes that loneliness isn't the physical absence of people — it's the sense that you're not sharing anything that matters with anyone. And the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. It's connection. Question to carry into your day: What are you doing to keep people at a distance right now — and what would it feel like to just let one person in?
