Tech/Phone Addiction
Therapy in New York State
Your connection to your phone/game/social media almost feels like addiction: you fixate, obsess, and can’t be without it! In fact, it’s gotten so bad, the people who love you have started to notice and comment on it, too.
You spend more time with your head in your phone than you do in the real world.
You feel disconnected from people you love, anxious when you have to interact with others, and wake up feeling bad more often than good.
It’s causing friction with your partner and it might even be impacting your work.
“We all crave connection and we all struggle at times with fear and a desire to escape. As we learn it’s safe to connect with people, the draw of disconnecting through other means weakens.”
– Regina Howland, LMHC, NCC

…have healthy, comfortable interactions with people, free of anxiety and other uncomfortable emotions.
