Transform your loneliness into a strength
Get your loneliness to work for you, not against you!
No one sets out to be lonely. Ever.
Sometimes, unbeknownst to us, our loneliness sets out to protect us from the dangerous world that has hurt us before.
Â
Say YES to connection!Take a deep breath and get really candidÂ
Ask yourself:
- If loneliness is trying to protect me from something, what might that be?
- What happens when I try to connect—do I feel energized, or does it feel overwhelming?
- Have I ever blamed myself for being lonely, instead of being curious about the deeper reasons why connection is hard?
- What would change if I could see my loneliness not as the enemy, but as a messenger guiding me toward something deeper?
Most of the time, most people try to avoid feeling loneliness...
without spending any time wondering why it might have shown up or stuck around in the first place!

Huh? What does loneliness have to do with dogs? Great question!
Guard dogs protect with fear and distance. They push people away. They are frightening--sometimes as much for their owner as those who come upon them.
Guide dogs guides protect by showing the way. They lead the owner to their destination. Maybe loneliness can be the same?

Hey friend, let me introduce myself!
I'm Carolyn KlassenÂ
IÂ know loneliness and how it plays a role in a person's life.
The neat and tidy reason is that my many years of providing therapy give me unique insight to understand the root causes of loneliness, and how neurobiology and psychology interact to make loneliness painful and difficult. I have walked with many clients from loneliness to connection.
The real and raw reason is that I have had times of aching loneliness: the ripping grief of stillborn twins pulled me away from others, and later, the busy full life of a decade of single motherhood made meaningful relationships difficult. These experiences taught me about loneliness at a level no schooling could ever give.
Along the way, I've written books, taught at university, and given a ton of media interviews on all things connection.

From Hating and Hiding your Loneliness to seeing it as a Helper and Advocate
What is the cost of not learning the pro-symptom position of loneliness?
What’s the price of staying stuck in loneliness?Â
- Staying Stuck in Self-Blame Without understanding loneliness as a protective mechanism, you might keep blaming yourself instead of addressing deeper fears.
- Missed Connections – Hidden defenses can keep you from seeing or embracing meaningful relationships.
- Increased Stress – Loneliness fuels anxiety, stress, and even physical health risks—without intervention, these effects can worsen.
- Stuck in the Same Cycle – Without new insights, you might keep repeating the loneliness → withdrawal → loneliness loop.
This mini course helps you break free, understand yourself, and build connection your way. đź’›
