ERP 215: How to Deal with Being “Alone Together”

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: RSS

When I saw the #alonetogether, I questioned “Is this really what we are all feeling? If anything, it seems like the majority of us are feeling “togetheralone.” 

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Higgins discusses: 

  • With the division in perspectives and approaches right now, it can be hard to know how to move forward (with both supporting the economy and people's health and safety). 
  • The challenges of separation, distance, lack of connection and contact that people are experiencing right now. 
  • Ironically, how taking time to be still and centered supports our clarity, confidence, and connections.

“Don’t confuse loneliness with time by yourself” by Micaela Marini Higgs”

  • Why getting quality alone time is hard, and our aversion to taking it.
  • How it is easy to mistake or confuse anxiety, exhaustion, and stress for the need to be alone or in solitude. 
  • The surprising benefits of choosing to invest in quality alone time.
