Are you overwhelmed, depleted, exhausted? Instead of having hope for the
future, are you feeling crushing despair and disconnection? Do you wonder how
you have so many "friends" and "followers," yet still feel lonely and detached?
You are not alone. Many people in their late teens, 20s,, and later are feeling
disconnected - from their bodies, their friends, their communities, and the
world. Don't fear. This book illuminates hope and possibility.
In Awakening to Connection: A Letter to Our Daughters, developmental
psychologist and licensed psychotherapist Dr. Carolyn Cass Lorente leverages
years of working with young people, and her own personal experiences, to help
you recognize the light that you have to foster connection to yourself, others,
and the environments around you. In this book, you'll learn how to awaken
to connection. This awakening to harmony, balance, and the recognition of
the interaction between all of these elements will go far in helping you create
a life you love. This is a dance, a carefully choreographed collaboration based
on awareness and attunement. Awakening to Connection will illuminate the
deep interplay between nature and the self and offer evidenced-based activities
to uncover your authentic best and help grow your connections.
