Episode Synopsis

Huddol Lifecast Episode 36

Macaulay Culkin taught us the virtues of being home alone. The reality is that a lot of people would tell you they feel totally uncomfortable when they’re alone. Why? Why are we constantly trying to find ways to distract ourselves from our thoughts and feelings? How come no one teaches us to simply be with ourselves given that we spend a lifetime in our own company?

Huddol Pro and Mental Health Therapist Ilana Blumenkranz talks about the fear of being alone and how we maladaptively respond to that fear. Ilana suggests that the fear and anxiety that may be provoked in our alone state may actually be an opportunity to connect more deeply to ourselves and to the world around us.
