If you were alone for a week with no distractions, would you be in good company? Today, Gerry explores loneliness as a disconnection not just from others, but from ourselves, asking whether the masks and roles we wear each day may be quietly costing us the relationship that matters most, the one with our own needs, emotions and truth.
