"I'm used to waking up at a certain time, getting to choose what I want to do," she says. "When the holidays come around, it's this kind of big disruption to that and I have to recalibrate so much of my life." She feels guilt for not spending more time with her family when they are away from home.
This week we discuss loneliness, particularly around the holiday season. Why is it that we feel so lonely during that period between the holidays and the new year, whether we are surrounded by family or spending our time alone and what are some of the explanations for this feeling. We discuss the benefits and downsides of solitude, how to overcome loneliness and why the holiday season can be so difficult.
