Ever felt like you're constantly battling loneliness, even in a crowded room? In this episode of 'The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast', Lynn Matti dives deep into the emotional labyrinth of loneliness and how to combat it by building a stronger relationship with yourself.

She shares how she realized that the most important relationship she was neglecting was the one with herself. Lynn explains the crucial difference between loneliness and social isolation.

This episode is packed with actionable advice on how to counter that critical inner voice that tells us we're different, undeserving, or unworthy. Lynn suggests practical ways to foster self-love, like thanking yourself for small acts, setting aside time to be with yourself, and checking in with your feelings. She emphasizes that these everyday acts of gratitude and self-care can neutralize negative energy and help you build a more loving relationship with yourself.
This episode is a heartfelt guide to turning inward for comfort and support, making it a must-listen for anyone struggling with feelings of loneliness or self-doubt. Join Lynn as she shares her wisdom on how to stop eroding your best self-relationship and start nurturing it instead.
