In this episode of Loving Everything, I sit down with therapist Kelly Pratt to explore a concept at the heart of real healing: undoing aloneness. Because most people don't just struggle with anxiety, grief, or overwhelm. They struggle alone. Alone inside their experience. Alone inside their emotions. Alone inside their nervous system. And that's what keeps suffering in place. Kelly's work is grounded in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), where healing doesn't happen through fixing or analyzing—it happens through being deeply accompanied. In this conversation, we explore what overwhelm actually is, how it forms, and what begins to shift when someone no longer has to hold it alone. We also move beyond theory and into experience, with a live, guided moment in session that shows what this work feels like in real time. In this episode, we discuss: • What \"undoing aloneness\" actually means in therapy and in real life • Why overwhelm is often a relational experience, not just an internal one • How the nervous system changes in the presence of safe connection • The difference between explaining emotions and actually feeling them • Why self-reliance and intellectualizing can keep people stuck • How emotional accompaniment reduces overwhelm physiologically • What people truly need—but rarely receive—when they're struggling • How to stay present with pain without trying to fix or bypass it This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed… and alone inside it. You don't have to do this alone. — About Kelly Pratt: Kelly Pratt is a Professional Counselor Associate specializing in AEDP, somatic therapy, IFS, and relational healing.
