Lonely AF (A Therapist's No-BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone )

You're not alone in feeling lonely—learn to break the cycle of disconnection and build meaningful relationships with yourself and others.

Lonely AF is about understanding why so many of us struggle with feeling alone—and what we can do about it. In this book, trauma-informed therapist Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski dives into the real and raw feelings of loneliness that she knows all too well. As a first-generation American born to Polish immigrant parents, she experienced emotional loneliness early in life. Her mother passed away when she was just two years old. By high school, she was living alone while her father, who struggled with alcohol, worked overseas. Years later, she would face a new kind of loneliness in adulthood, navigating the storm of postpartum rage after the birth of her son.

These lived experiences, combined with years of clinical expertise, shaped her no-fluff, deeply compassionate approach to emotional healing.

Following Dr. Kalicinski's HEART Method, Lonely AF will help you:

• Break the cycle of emotional disconnection and create meaningful, secure relationships with others—and yourself
• Learn practical tools to create authentic connections and heal from past emotional pain
• Redefine your identity by separating from old narratives and embracing personal transformation
• Feel supported and less alone with heartfelt reflections from Dr. Kalicinski's personal journey and client case studies

With warmth and wisdom, Dr. Kalicinski offers a path forward to emotional healing—one that helps you confront loneliness without shame and build the authentic relationships you deserve.
