The incredible anonymity of the Internet and Texting which shields us from real Intimacy and creates an atmosphere which gives the illusion that one has 100s of "friends" most whom we've never met. Add to that mélange, the overwhelming numbers of Trauma survivors, who are identifying themselves after years of secrets, lies and isolation as a result of our industry opening the windows and allowing in a sweeping changes in treatment through real expertise in trauma resolution, honesty, a real healing and compassion for the Survivor. Clearly, we are seeing an enormous population of lonely disconnected people who crave connection and intimacy, attachment, love and acceptance? A belonging to a "tribe". At the core of all of this is the concept of Unhealthy or non-existent attachment. This presentation will address all of these issues and discuss concrete interventions for the healing of the Loneliest Heart.
