About this listen

 Therapist Loneliness Loneliness is associated with a variety of health problems and shortened life span (Hawkley, 2022; Hawkley & Cacioppo, 2010). Deborah and Tracy visit again with Doug Shirley, professor at The Seattle School, about the loneliness of the psychotherapist: both the individual factors - and the systemic issues of our profession - that make helpers more likely to be lonely. We talk about how helpers of all stripes can address the problem of loneliness in our own lives and in the profession at large. Learn more here: Hawkley, L. C. (2022). Loneliness and health.
