Social Isolation

Clare Karasik

Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
We may feel lonely when we don't have enough connection with others or when we don't have the kind of connection we need. We may experience isolation due to challenges related to trauma, changes in life, health/illness, self-esteem, anxiety, beliefs that keep us separate, life experiences that created distance, or physical distance. I work to provide a safe point of connection as we explore how isolation impacts your emotional experience, identity, and relationship with yourself. Together, we can explore ways in which you can experience and feel a deeper sense of connection to others.

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.

It takes courage to reach out! Certain conditions like a busy city or a life transition can lead to feeling alone and isolated. The meaning of life and your values may even she shaken. I center our relationship as a priority when we work together, and learning the IFS (internal family systems) approach may even support you to feel the long-lasting sense of connection within yourself. I'd be glad to meet you for a free consultation so you can start with getting a feel for how we would work together.

Social isolation refers to a state of limited social contact or engagement with others, which can have profound psychological effects on individuals. Humans are inherently social beings, and when deprived of meaningful social connections, the consequences can be detrimental to mental health. Research has shown that prolonged social isolation is associated with increased risk of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and a reduced sense of overall well-being. Effects of social isolation can include heightened feelings of loneliness, sadness, and a lack of belongingness. Individuals may experience a decline in their communication and interpersonal skills, leading to difficulties in forming and maintaining relationships. The absence of social support networks can exacerbate stress, as there is a lack of emotional validation and coping resources. How I can Help: Psychotherapists play a crucial role in helping individuals navigate the psychological challenges associated with social isolation. They provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Here are some ways a psychotherapist can help: 1. Emotional Support: Psychotherapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to express their emotions, providing validation and understanding. They work collaboratively with the person to process their feelings of loneliness and develop coping strategies. 2. Building Social Skills: Psychotherapists can assist individuals in developing and enhancing their social skills. Through role-playing, communication exercises, and psychoeducation, individuals can learn effective ways to initiate and maintain meaningful connections with others. 3. Negative thoughts and beliefs about oneself and others can perpetuate social isolation. Psychotherapists utilize techniques to challenge and reframe these unhelpful thoughts, helping individuals develop more positive and realistic perspectives. 4. Social Integration: Psychotherapists can support individuals in gradually reintegrating into social activities and communities. They may provide guidance in finding social groups or activities that align with the person's interests, fostering opportunities for new connections. 5. Self-esteem and Self-worth: Working on improving self-esteem and self-worth is crucial for overcoming the negative impacts of social isolation. I can help you recognize your strengths, develop self-compassion, and cultivate a positive sense of self. By addressing the psychological impact of social isolation, psychotherapists can empower individuals to regain a sense of connection, enhance their well-being, and develop healthier social relationships.

The appearance of COVID-19 has exacerbated this issue. It's important to remember that while it's okay to feel sad, stressed, lonely or worried, everyone reacts differently and sometimes these issues take a while to go away. If you are experiencing these feelings, hypnosis is an effective way to reduce the effects of social isolation.

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. Contact us today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation with our therapists. During this call you can ask any questions that you might have and learn how we might be able to help!

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.

Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. Dealing with ongoing pain, physical discomfort and fatigue, whether stemming from an illness, disability or injury, can be a lonely experience. We may struggle to plan our daily activities, not knowing how we will feel at any given moment and fulfilling long term goals may feel out of reach. Because pain is often invisible and subjective, people in our lives (including healthcare providers!) may not understand what we’re going through. Our lives can start to feel very restrictive and small as the activities we used to enjoy or did easily are increasingly difficult. Much of our focus goes to seeking treatments and strategies to get rid of the pain yet relief tends to be temporary and it's hard to imagine any other option.
