A CURE FOR LONELINESS?

The Most Meaningful Gift You Can Give Your Girlfriend This Holiday Season

Minneapolis – Despite social media’s attempts to keep people connected, there’s growing evidence that loneliness is on the rise – including studies revealing over a third of Americans feel chronically lonely, no matter how many “friends” they’ve collected on their Facebook pages. In fact, many health practitioners now use a Loneliness Scale developed by UCLA to determine whether a sense of isolation is impacting their patients’ overall wellbeing.

This comes as no surprise to psychologist Rachel Awes. “The most common and deepest thread of pain I hear is loneliness,” she writes in her new book, all i did was listen, now available nationwide and as part of a Girlfriend Gift Pack this holiday season. Awes considers it a privilege to get to “lean in and listen” to her patients’ innermost thoughts – and help them finally feel heard.

Awes helps clients work through their greatest challenges and deepest sorrows by pointing out powerful moments of clarity and confidence during their sessions. She then passes along that healing wisdom to others, weaving her patients’ words about healing, hope and connectedness into her popular artwork.

Now, with the publication of all i did was listen, Awes aims to cultivate a greater sense of belonging by sharing never-released artwork paired with her encouraging and heartfelt insights, designed to help women feel less alone in their struggles. The back of the book also includes pages of reflection questions for individual readers or group study/book clubs.

Of the 232-page full-color book, New York Times best-selling author and famed artist SARK says, “Rachel's words and art are an uncommon elixir that travels straight to the heart by way of the soul. Her book is simply a spiritual must.”

all i did was listen retails for $18.95 at rachelawes.com. Now through December 31st, customers can purchase a $90 Girlfriend Gift Pack including five copies of the book, five Rachel Awes greeting cards of your choice and five exclusive bookmarks featuring her artwork.
