ABSTRACT

Loneliness can be one of the cruellest diseases in the world. A person can feel alone or isolated for many different reasons including: experiencing some form of loss; being bullied or harassed; having to leave home; ageing and losing loved ones. In the long-term it can become difficult to trust people or meet new people. The script can be used when working on low self-esteem, building confidence and becoming more assertive in a treatment plan. It encourages the development of courage to experience new things. Loneliness is left behind and a sense of belonging and being part of something is experienced.
