This paper aims to reflect, under a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, about a recured complain in psychoterapic setting: loneliness and affective relationships. The connection between loneliness, isolation and anxiety with the necessity of control and security on relationships were analysed. For this we used Martin Heidegger's philosophical thought. We concluded these feelings are possibilities of meaning that constitute the historic experience of modern man. This way, psychotherapy will not intent only an adjustment but will be a setting of medidation, where other possibilities of being in the world with others will be present.
