Episode 12: The Loneliness Epidemic – Restoring Belonging in a Disconnected World
Loneliness is more than an emotion, it’s a biological signal telling us we need connection. In this episode of Retreat, Reset, Transform, Donald Currie, Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Director at Dimensions Algonquin Highlands, explores why loneliness has become a modern epidemic and how it impacts our mental, emotional, and physical health.
Donald unpacks the science of connection, the hidden causes of disconnection, and the role of attachment patterns, technology, and lifestyle shifts in shaping our relationships. You’ll discover practical, research-backed ways to restore belonging, from somatic practices and micro-connections to the transformative power of intentional community and retreat experiences
