BONUS: Netta Weinstein on solitude and its impact on mental health
Description
In today’s bonus episode, I speak with Netta Weinstein, a professor of clinical and social psychology at the University of Reading, about the nuances of solitude and loneliness. We delve into the key differences between the two and why solitude is essential, even as society focuses on combating loneliness. Netta shares insights on how solitude can be experienced even in the presence of others, its mental health benefits and challenges, and the importance of balancing social interactions with alone time. We also discuss the guilt many mothers feel when seeking solitude and the need to embrace the superpowers of solitude in our busy lives.
