Do You Feel Invisible?

Over deze aflevering

<p>What does it do to a person to feel overlooked? This week, psychologist <a href="https://www.yorku.ca/lamarsh/gord-flett/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gordon Flett</a> examines how the absence of “mattering” can fuel loneliness, depression, and even violence. He outlines how feeling valued serves as a psychological buffer, and how simple gestures can rebuild a sense of meaning in ourselves and others. Then, in the second half of the show, listeners share their thoughts on finding healing in nature.
