Leaving Loneliness Behind: 5 Keys to Experiencing God's Love and Building Healthy Connections with Others

Our relationships with God and others are important to who we are as humans. The fact is that these interactions are often less than ideal, particularly with our family, friends, and people around us, and we end up feeling lonely. That loneliness causes us to mistrust God's promises, our friends and family, and even our own worthiness of love.

Regina Boyd, a licenced Catholic therapist, helps you develop the skills you need to enjoy meaningful, rich, and satisfying connections with God and people around you in Leaving Loneliness Behind.

Boyd believes that emotional closeness is the solution to loneliness. It's about expressing yourself and your emotions with another person more deeply—being vulnerable and trusting in what you say and how you behave.

So, how can we cultivate emotional intimacy? Boyd outlines five critical factors:

Recognise the depths that exist in your present connections.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable in order to experience real closeness.
Through disagreements, communicate in a manner that promotes love, trust, and openness.
Recognise the past and work towards emotional healing.
For the sake of the connection, give of yourself.

Each chapter contains a real-life example of how using emotional intimacy concepts may alter relationships, friendships, families, and workplaces. Catholic philosophy, scriptural tales, and Church teachings emphasise how our religion ties to our everyday acts and transactions.
