BRB, Healing From Social Media with Jenny Wise Black
Today’s guest has been a licensed marriage and family therapist for over a decade and it was only when her smartphone broke that she found her true life’s work: fixing our relationship with our devices! Jenny Wise Black has seen firsthand the trauma – yes, trauma – that is caused by the constant, everyday use of our devices. So, how have we gotten here, and more importantly, what can we do about it? Kaitlyn describes her personal relationship to her phone and social media, and why she’s deciding to take a break during this very painful time in her life. Your host also opens up about her recent breakup and the fears that come along with it, many of which (if not all) can be traced right back to her phone. Luckily, Jenny has advice that is truly life-changing when it comes to making us whole humans again, including using “inside treats” versus external validation and building our resources from what we need versus what we’re addicted to. We guarantee you’ll come away from this episode with so much more knowledge and maybe, like Kaitlyn, some sadness but also hope for a better future!
