In this episode, I am joined by Blake Roberts, LPC, MA, a practicing psychotherapist of nearly 30 years, where we dive deep into the topic of solitude. We get into topics such the relationship between solitude, isolationism, and loneliness. We debate whether loneliness is an emotion, a state of being or both and how it relates to solitude. We discuss how awareness is the key to everything, including healthy solitude and the start of one’s journey to embracing solitude, therapy in general and interpersonal relationships. We get into the science of solitude or the lack there of, how people can go about embracing it and including it in their daily lives, the benefits and even some downsides if not managed appropriately. We touch on the 8 domains of wellness, Buddhism, the philosophy of Eckhart Tolle, Johari’s Window, and debate whether growth and comfortability can actually coexist. Blake’s elegant perspective, wisdom and 30 years of expertise is well on display in this episode and if you were ever curious about the benefits of solitude, do not miss this recording, listen now!!!
