Mature Loneliness

Toxic loneliness causes bone aching depression and anxiety. When we are unable to be alone with ourselves, we experience toxic loneliness. When we have mastered mature loneliness, we have learned to be one with the self rather than to rely on others as a source of our contentment. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano discusses what she refers to as mature loneliness.

Supportive and very insightful, just like Lisas' books, articles and huge body of work on these issues. Much appreciated 🙏🙏

This year was the first time I spent xmas alone. Along with this talk it reminded me of the power (wave) I once had. I must say it’s been difficult as of late to regain that. I often find compassion for others loneliness bc I can relate to how they feel. Is it possible for two people to be in a healthy relationship while working on their loneliness? Thank you so much for this 💙🙏🏽

Tears…so grateful for this talk. I find this the hardest emotion to self soothe but feel more empowered from this talk 🙏🏼 Thank you

This is very helpful I am struggling with abandonment issues from my childhood and young adulthood.

Really helpful for an 'elderly' woman, living alone with her dog...me! I have grandchildren and a handful of friends. My brain still works well and I still love learning. My life is plenty good enough, even blessed. The challenge is sometimes feeling, 'what's the point?' I know I'm not worthless, but I'm no one's priority. (Not sure I ever have been.) That's loneliness for me. And why little acts of kindness and caring are inordinately meaningful. This talk helps me to see that I'm actually doing ok. I'm on a good (enough) path. Thank you 🙏🏻 💕
