About this audiobook
Following in the footsteps of the success of The Completion Process, bestselling author and modern spiritual leader Teal Swan offers an in-depth exploration and understanding of loneliness. Drawing on her extraordinary healing technique, the Connection Process, Teal offers a way to experience connection once again.
Loneliness is reaching endemic proportions in our society, reflected by rising suicide rates and increased mental illness. Now, more than ever, we need to find a way to connect. Loneliness is a feeling of separation or isolation; it is not necessarily the same as the physical state of being alone. This book is for people who suffer from loneliness, the kind that cannot be solved by simply being around other people. Their aloneness is a deeply embedded pattern that is both negative and painful; it is often fueled by trauma, loss, addiction, grief, and a lack of self-esteem and insecurity. In The Anatomy of Loneliness, Teal identifies the three pillars or qualities of loneliness: Separation, Shame, and Fear, and goes on to share her revolutionary technique, The Connection Process, a form of intuitive journeying, usually involving two people, a "receiver" and a "journeyer." Through a series of exercises each person experiences "walls" and "blockages;" as they move through the process, both participants face their fears, learning from these to reach a place of unconditional love and acceptance.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Through 4 chapters for a research project, I dropped this depressing book. No solutions yet just taunting loneliness. I had to stop listening. Much better sources out there.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5In a world where people carry with them hidden trauma there is a cry for help but not here. This reads not like a path to healing but some attempt to create art.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This Book is not just about understanding the root cause of Loneliness. It is a brilliant book that will make you understand what a ‘real’ relationship looks like and it gives you the tools to create such Real relationships in your life.
It discribes the ‘painful’ root of inauthenticity and the solution to a life full of authentic Love.6 people found this helpful

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I can’t believe I have waisted precious minutes of my life to listen to this ***p. This is absolute rubbish. The “author” seems to have memorized or learned some expressions and does not seem to know what she is talking about. She seems to present her “thought” as revolutionary or spiritual but I dare say a person with a minimum of education, culture, scientific or spiritual (not new age bogus) would find it utterly unacceptable to call this a book. This is a scam!
