Social Isolation
New U by Design, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, SFW, LPC
As much as we may think we don't want to be around anyone, we truly are social creatures. The more we give in to our desire to isolate the lower we may feel when the image comes to mind that others do not want to be near us. By isolating, we may be giving others the message that we are happy being alone, when in reality we may not know how to get out and live life to the fullest. We can figure it out together.

Removing ourselves from our lives can be a result of many things that we may feel conflicted by. The desire to understand these tendencies is very important to restore what we might hope for in living a meaningful and connected life.

Kerry Hill
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
I view social isolation and the societal oppression resulting from capitalism as being closely intertwined. Capitalism causes burn-out, guilt, and exhaustion. It alienates us from ourselves, from one another, and from what makes us feel creative, productive, and respected. The COVID pandemic in particular has revealed the layers of oppression and isolation that we have difficulty addressing; we have forgotten how to reach out for help, how to provide care, and how to develop a network of people that we can turn to for support and love. I believe that people are essentially good and desire community, and that the pain that comes from social isolation can be overcome by relearning skills and identifying what we need to lead a richer life. Therapy is a wonderful space to practice those skills.
