Whether they're 25 without a boyfriend or 65 and recently widowed, many of our single female clients believe there's something unnatural about not being "connected" to someone. While helping such clients deal with clinical issues like depression, anxiety, or substance abuse, we can help them use their "active solitude" to discover a deeper sense of themselves and their potential. In this workshop, we'll revisit our own stories of being alone, and, using visualizations and meditations, learn how to turn them into new life opportunities brimming with possibility. We'll explore how we can help clients who are going through stress, turmoil, or grief realize that by learning to live fully in their aloneness, rather than fighting it with distractions, they can rediscover in themselves a sense of true independence, personal strength, and courage.
