Social Isolation
Anna DiNoto
Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC, PSYPACT - Licensed Psychologist
When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.

Social Isolation
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.

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.
Social Isolation
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Isolation was a concern even before the pandemic - some of it blamed on social media and living online, which became the norm for many people over the past year. And yet isolation existed before this, sometimes because of self esteem and lack of confidence or difficulty with connecting with other people for different reasons.
