The Loneliness Self-Assessment and Growth Journal by Nicole Crump, LCSW-R PLLC, is a self-help tool from the Emotional Connection Method.
It is designed to guide you through self-reflection to transform "an unclear feeling of loneliness into specific insights and actionable steps."
The journal is structured around a three-part process:
Mapping the Feelings: This section helps you identify historical patterns of loneliness, including childhood experiences, as well as current physical sensations and triggers (e.g., social media, weekends, holidays).
Assessing My Connections: This part uses true/false questions and prompts to evaluate the quality and nature of your current relationships. It covers social circles, companionship, and professional/work connections, prompting you to reflect on where they feel disconnected or unable to be themselves.
Journal Prompts for Growth: This final reflective section guides you in reframing negative thoughts, understanding the impact of loneliness, and identifying fears (like rejection) that prevent deeper connections.
The workbook's goal is to help you understand your specific unmet needs by distinguishing between emotional and social loneliness.
