What makes addiction so complex, and how is modern life shaping our emotional health? The latest episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes' takes you on a thought-provoking journey through the challenges of addiction, social media's impact, and parenting in the digital age. Hosts Chris Gazdik and Neil explore the growing legal cases comparing Big Tech to Big Tobacco, focusing on the harm and addiction social media can cause, especially to kids.
They also discuss the emotional aftermath of one-night stands, shifting focus from morality to emotional impact and attachment. In an era where parenting is more challenging than ever, this episode examines how constant access to information affects both kids and parents. Are children today receiving too much information before they can emotionally process it? The hosts challenge listeners to consider their own digital habits and how these might be influencing their children.
The episode is packed with engaging anecdotes, such as Neil's adventures in snowmageddon and Kyle King's travel nightmares, adding a touch of humour to the serious topics discussed. Whether you're a parent navigating the digital landscape or someone interested in the emotional complexities of modern life, this episode offers valuable insights and practical questions to ponder. So, how do you manage your digital consumption? Are you modelling healthy behaviours for your children?
Reflect on these questions and more as you listen to this engaging discussion. It's time to rethink how we interact with technology and its impact on our lives.
