    How to Deal with Feelings of Loneliness and Isolation The Right Way

    “You had someone to go places with. You had a date on national holidays!” -Marie, When Harry Met Sally, 1989 Welcome to today’s show! Loneliness is a feeling that I know a lot of us try and avoid. And the thing is, we've all felt lonely at different points in our life. So it's an important topic. I've described loneliness as an epidemic in previous shows (and so has the 19th Surgeon General of the U.S. Vivek Murthy). It's so prevalent and it's also so destructive mentally, and physically. So let’s dive in.   WHAT WE’LL LEARN What does society tell us about loneliness (hint: it's all wrong!) The difference between loneliness and solitude. What is healing, what is harmful, what must be lived through? We can use loneliness for self-exploration  I give a few writing prompts to get us started on self-exploration through loneliness.

    3 Ways Writing Takes You from Hopeless to Hopeful: the final episode

    Welcome to today’s show! In today’s episode, I list 3 ways writing takes you from hopeless to hopeful:. And I’ve decided to end the Atheists in Recovery podcast so this is the final episode. I thank you all for listening.   I announce a new project I’m excited about and invite you to join me on my new journey!   WHAT WE’LL LEARN Writing as a coping mechanism. Writing allows us to sit with the uncomfortable feelings and be curious about them-their contours, shapes and sizes.  Writing can help us honor and light up our stories while prompting us to envision our future selves restored and renewed. Writing as a creative outlet. Writing is just one form of creative expression. It’s not for everyone but I feel it’s easily accessible for all. Writing that heals. I talk about my own journey with writing and how it helped heal my traumatic wounds when therapy seemed like “too much.”  The 13th-century Sufi mystic and poet Rumi wrote, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Thinkers from Freud to Brene’ Brown have all postulated that there’s strength in vulnerability.   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Writing Bravely home page.
