Dr. Anthony Centore and Thrive Boston Counseling were quoted this week in a Thanksgiving article in the Christian Science Monitor titled, “To Fill a Table, The Go Online”! Dr. Centore was the sole expert quoted in the article. The article is currently available online at: http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/1126/p17s01-hfgn.html
A short excerpt is provided below:
Call it Home for the Holidays 2.0. Whether it’s the newly married couple transplanted across the country, or the emotionally troubled 50-something Boston-area businessman…work schedules are turning to the tools of today to find “family” for the big seasonal gatherings.
Some experts see a nascent trend with growth potential, especially during tough economic times. “The more mobile we get, the more isolated and lonely people are,” says Anthony Centore, a therapist with Thrive Boston, a counseling center in Cambridge, Mass. Many, especially in the younger generation, use the Internet to stay connected to friends – old and new. “But we are made for in-person contact,” says Mr. Centore, “and that’s what people will seek out, particularly at high emotional times such as the holidays.”
