'ask dorothy' <p style="text-align:center;">Overcome the Fear of 'singlehood'| A Real Life Client Story</p> The WISDOM podcast  Season 3 Episode 2 <p> </p> <p>It is something that we all experience; singlehood. A time in which you are un-partnered, indivisible by one. To be single is to <a href='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/single'>consist </a><a href='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/single'>as</a><a href='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/single'> a separate </a><a href='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/single'>and </a><a href='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/single'>unique whole</a>. </p> <p> </p> <p>And still, it may be the most avoided and feared experience together with public speaking and something that most of us would not like to admit - the fear of being alone and ‘un’ partnered as one enters the latter chapters of one’s life.</p> <p> </p> <p>There is the obvious reason for why so many people yearn to be a part of a couple; we want to experience love and to to be loved; and to love another. It is a part of why we exist. The love that two people share in a partner relationship has the potential to grow, to evoke and transform each one of us as we enjoy a sacred bond with another.</p> <p> </p> <p>But if you fear being alone then what you will attract; what you will draw to you; what you will settle for will never be enough because it is chosen out of fear and not love, confidence, desire based on autonomy.</p> <p> </p> <p>My client, Bobby* knew that he needed some time to heal, to make changes in himself, before stepping into another relationship. Perhaps it was the indiscriminate pressure that he placed on himself knowing that his former girlfriend had already begun seeing someone. </p> <p> </p> <p>What is it that motivates us to begin looking when we are not happy; looking for the next relationship and a new person to “make us happy.” When the truth is a lack of happiness can only be fixed from within one’s self.
