Understanding Loneliness: Causes, Effects, and Solutions with Dr. Rick Marks

Your dreams for your relationship, marriage, are shattered. I have a lot of friends that when they do divorce and then they have their children during, you know, that particular weekend or whatever days, and then the kids are gone to the other spouse's house, then it's like loneliness and depression sets in because they don't have their children, they don't have their family, they have no one.
Loneliness is more than just a feeling; it's a widespread issue affecting countless individuals across the West, particularly in the USA. In this episode of 'RelateWell', Dr. Rick Marks and Angelia Savage tackle this pressing topic head-on. Drawing from his own experiences of growing up in a broken home filled with addiction and abuse, Dr. Rick shares his journey of healing and offers a unique perspective on the damaging effects of loneliness on both physical and mental health.
The hosts dive deep into what leads to loneliness, its impact on relationships, marriage, and family, and the crucial difference between loneliness and solitude. They also explore how faith and positive self-talk can be powerful tools in overcoming loneliness. With a blend of empathy and practical advice, Dr. Rick and Angelia provide listeners with actionable steps to foster face-to-face connections and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
