Thank you for the insightful and constructive comment!
For me, it’s mostly the other way around. Loneliness is an outward manifestation of a fundamental decision-making problem. It’s in large part a longing for the structure that other people can provide. I suspect that this accounts for the “all methods of therapy are about equally effective” phenomenon. They all help us make decisions, give us some structure and sense of direction. I wonder if there are any modalities that are directly focused on giving people the ability to make decisions more easily.
