Feeling Alone? Take Charge of Your Mental Health with Connection Expert Dr. Adam Dorsay

Have you ever felt truly and deeply alone? That you are completely isolated behind thick walls or an invisible shell–even when surrounded by a crowd of people or friends? Humans–like most other animals–thrive when they feel connected to others. So it makes sense that loneliness–which is very different from making a choice to spend time alone–negatively impacts physical and psychological health. As research shows us that connection is the key, I've reached out to a top expert on connection for insights on this important topic. Join Dr. Carla Manly and Dr. Adam Dorsay, author, podcaster, TEDx speaker, and connection expert, for a compassionate exploration into the realm of loneliness and the steps we can take to increase connection. With loneliness at epidemic levels, we can all use tips on how to foster healthy relationships to boost mental, emotional, and physical health. Topics covered include: introversion, loneliness, solitude, mindfulness, compassion, mirroring, cognitive flexibility, cognitive rigidity, black-and-white thinking, resiliency, anxiety, stress, depression, bullying, pets, relationships, spirituality, pandemic, loneliness epidemic, and friendship.
