“You’re so addicted to your phone!” Has anyone ever said this to you? Well, you’re not alone. In our society today, it has become so normalized to be attached to our phones through avoidance of awkward social interactions, keeping up with the latest news or details about other’s lives, toxic comparisons, or a way in which we feel we are relaxing but actually aren’t. Why do we do this?. To help us out with this, we have invited Michael DzwilLicensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to explain more.
Michael explains why we resort to our phones when feeling bored or anxious through statistical findings and evidence based research. Michael also brings awareness to the long term negative effects of technology attachment along with the latest ‘trends’ regarding individuals and technology and why it could be a concern. Don’t worry, because Michael leaves us with helpful ways to break this negative habit and some tips for parents and clinicians working with adolescents struggling with this as well!
So, join the girls in their conversation with Michael, as they help you attain the necessary tools to incorporate healthier habits into your life, and not feel as dependent on your phone or technology.
