Loneliness, Meet Solitude | Psychiatric Times

Peter Anthony Holder @paholder.bsky.social · 11d

One of my favourite authors is Dennis Palumbo, who writes the Daniel Rinaldi Mysteries. In addition to being a best selling author he is also a psychotherapist who specializes in creative types, such as writers. He also writes columns like this one in the Psychiatric Times. It's a great read

Creative individuals navigate the fine line between solitude and loneliness, discovering how isolation can fuel artistic expression or lead to despair.
