Description:
Texting, not talking. Collecting “likes” and subscribers. Make friends using the game console. Relentless news cycles 24/7.
Whether you’re ready for it or not, the advent of social media and round-the-clock Internet access has changed the way we treat each other (and ourselves), leaving a whole new set of challenges for those who use them. As therapists, you see people of all ages with these problems: a girl who can’t put her phone away during a session. A boy who doesn’t sleep after reading social media posts.
“Friends” of all ages who are ashamed of each other’s life choices and argue over the text. A socially concerned young man who struggles to meet people in person because all of his “friends” are online. A parent who has to fight the ” Facebook shame” for every parent’s decision. An elderly person who feels disconnected from life and disconnected. The impact is rampant and pervasive – as a result, the treatment of anxiety no longer looks the same as before.
Watch this unique and engaging entry to learn innovative ways to treat this new facet of anxiety with today’s client.
You will learn that:
Key questions to ask in the assessment to identify problematic use of the technology
How excessive screen time affects mood, anxiety, and self-esteem in clients of all ages
Tools to help clients regulate their emotions and make wise decisions (on and offline)
Innovative methods to promote healthy use of technology with customers
