In this episode of Therapists Unplugged, hosts and therapists Katie Gerwel and Emily McCarty explore one of the most essential, yet often overlooked, human needs: connection to others. They dive into why we're biologically wired to connect, how early attachment shapes adult relationships, and the profound impact of isolation on mental health.
Listeners will learn how shame, social anxiety, and trauma can create barriers to connection, and how building meaningful relationships can be a powerful part of healing. The co-hosts share insights from their own experiences, as well as practical ways to foster connection, even when it feels difficult.
