What Dr Russ said about disconnection

[Guest guest]

One of the frequent thoughts that I've got to 'treat' is my feelings

of loneliness with so little contact with the very few friends that

I've got left. It's disconnection rather than physical aloneness.

Back in February Dr Russ had recommended to "connection with nature, or our work, or

our hobby, or our sport" plus

Often as we cultivate that connection, those unpleasant

thoughts and feelings disappear. But even if they don’t,

provided we accept and defuse them, they need not interfere with

creating a meaningful and life-enhancing connection with

something important.

But I've got another question.

Is it possible to even "prevent" the problem by trying to become

more "emotionally independent" ......... ie. try to do something

(xyz) so that I don't even notice the disconnection .......

um.... so by becoming more 'independent' i'm not feeling the

loneliness that comes with little contact with friends.

Is there some way that I can do this?? Dr Russ ....... can you

help??

Hope this makes sense .......
