Alone time can relieve stress, build character, and serve the necessary function of providing a time-out from this hectic world. But too much alone time can make our lives unduly hard and lead us to feel unloved and unwanted. In this comprehensive guide to relieving loneliness, distinguished writer and lecturer Mary Ellen Copeland creates a practical program for assessing personal strength and using them to bring connection into our lives.
Based on an extensive study of former loneliness sufferers, The Loneliness Workbook helps us learn to identify our assets as well as our relationship inhibitors, develop relationship skills, practice loneliness-relieving exercises, reach out for support, join with others, and create intimacy. Through the inspiring testimony of those who have overcome loneliness, we are encouraged to implement our very own plan of action and bring about the kinds of lasting changes that will fill our lives with love and support.
