I am a cognitive behavioral hypnotherapist(认知行为催眠治疗师). I started my practice from sleep disorders, and soon came to realize how strongly loneliness was linked with poor sleep. I've focused on my skills and understanding of loneliness in order to know how I could best serve my patients.
Loneliness is an emotion. We probably all experience it at some point, but loneliness is very complicated and unique to each of us. There's a big difference between loneliness and solitude(独处). Being alone is a choice, while feeling lonely isn't something we force ourselves. You want to be around people, but something is making you feel unwanted or empty, so you're not having the meaningful connection you seek.
When you're feeling lonely over a long period of time, it becomes a chronic(慢性的) problem. It can finally turn into a mental and physical health problem, and can be a symptom or cause of depression. It can affect selfrespect. You might turn to food and not feel like exercising, as chronic loneliness is linked to increased risk of high blood pressure, obesity and even dementia(痴呆).
To manage loneliness, you need to accept it. Loneliness is one of the most common feelings people have. Don't brush it under the carpet, as that doesn't help solve the problem. Seek joy in little things, like smelling a flower or going for a walk in nature. Celebrate each small achievement. When you decide to change things and seek a connection with others, consider ableminded groups. A patient of mine joined a sewing group and it was very successful.
The best way to help somebody who is lonely is to sensitively ask how they are and what they're doing, and listen to the answer in a nonjudgmental way. If you want to invite them to do something with you, do it. If they say no, don't be discouraged from asking again. They might need time before feeling ready to say yes.
( ) 4. Why does the author focus on loneliness?
A. To do research on patients' sleep disorders.
B. To find out the true reason for loneliness.
C. To provide better service for patients.
D. To help poor sleepers gain a better sleep.
( ) 5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Accepting loneliness is the only cure.
B. Hiding loneliness turns out to be unwise.
C. Joining a sewing group proves successful.
D. Meeting people with common interests won't help.
( ) 6. If you want to help your friend Tom who is lonely, what will you do?
A. Invite him later again though he has refused.
B. Leave him alone for fear of disturbing him.
C. Tell him right from wrong after listening to him carefully.
D. Ask about his conditions publicly when noticing him in a bad mood.
( ) 7. What do we know about loneliness according to the text?
A. Loneliness is a choice that people can choose by themselves.
B. Loneliness is a factor that can influence your selfreflection.
C. Loneliness is a serious problem that can cause dementia directly.
D. Loneliness is a complicated emotion that people may all experience.
