Dr. Vassilia Binensztok, LMHC, PhD

Dr. Vassilia Binensztok, LMHC, PhD

Psychotherapist
2401 PGA Blvd, Ste 134, Palm Beach Gardens, FL
I came home one day, put on the kettle for a cup of tea, and listened to the stark sound of four walls and nothing between them but me. Loneliness was a feeling that strongly defined my early twenties. My parents had both passed away in a car accident, and I had no home base from college, nowhere to feel I could come back to or belong. I lived in an apartment alone and though I had a few very close friendships, which still thrive today, I didn’t know how to be part of a group, something larger than myself. With the dysfunction I experienced growing up, I never really learned how to make many friends. My parents never had friends, my mother never called anyone on a holiday or birthday, and often my parents weren’t even home or awake when I left for or got home from school. I missed the key pieces for cultivating a life of connection and social support. Loneliness was a theme in my life for many years, even through childhood. Loneliness led to depression, which led to further isolation, which led to hopelessness. It was a cycle I did not know how to escape. But then, that day I took the tea off the stove, sat down with a fuzzy blanket and a very important book. It was called Living Alone and Loving It, by Barbara Feldon. I was embarrassed that I had even picked up a book with what sounded like a silly title to me. I felt it marked some sort of social defeat or that I was lacking something fundamental. But the book taught me how even small changes can foster connection when it’s not readily given. One of the author’s suggestions was to give people random compliments, even strangers. I began striking up mini conversations with cashiers, maybe complimenting their nails. I complimented strangers on things like their shoes, or clothes. And even though I still went home to the empty apartment, I began to feel better. I felt small bursts of joy; I watched other people feel little bits of joy; and I did feel more connected to others.
