One of the most predicted (by me personally) phenomena that is highlighted, even, I would say, exudes a blood-red glow, is the inability of people to be alone... with themselves and, how consequence - with each other. Being alone is, in my opinion, really a skill (skill), in some ways even an art. Like any skill, being alone is formed only in practice. And what people most often run away from like fire is precisely from being alone (not alone, I note, but precisely alone). Sometimes this persistent flight looks completely cartoonish, absurd and exaggerated, as in some deliberately parody film, where everything that happens is deliberately created to be highly implausible. But... people’s escape from themselves (from being alone) is, unfortunately, not a parody at all... it is, in fact, the dominant strategy of life. Virtually everything is subordinated to the implementation of this strategy: the form of work, nutrition, entertainment. Whatever one may say, the vast majority of activities exclude the possibility and necessity of a person being alone... both physically and mentally. Something is constantly, somehow, from some source, violating bodily boundaries and invading the system of perception. And judging by what is happening, for example, the increase in alcohol sales, the increase in cases of domestic violence, the increase in the number of divorces (following the example of China , where isolation has already been lifted), due to the critical increase in the outburst of aggression through social networks - people were not ready to be in a state of shock - to be alone, neither with themselves nor with their families. What does the massive inability to be alone tell me? About the reduced and distorted contact of people with their body (and through it with the psyche, which is part of the body). And the classic question that always sounds: “what is a psychologist/psychotherapy for?” I find the following answer in my face: in order to acquire and/or develop the skill of being alone, that is, to develop a person’s contact with his body. Contact with the body is the basis of any and every interaction (internal and external). How comfortable, safe and developing it (the interaction) will be depends on the development of contact with the body. If you want to gain or improve your ability to be alone, contact us.
