Loneliness looks different as the years go by. When I was younger I felt lonely a lot. I learned to do things on my own - and now not so lonely. As I age and if I were to become unable to have a career or volunteer or if I was confined to my home because of illness and so on....I have not tackled what loneliness might look like then.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
