DIPLOMA IN COUNSELLING
September 01, 2025
While technology has made our lives easier, the constant notifications, online comparisons, and pressure to always be โavailableโ can drain our mental health. This is where therapy plays a powerful role:
Awareness & Boundaries
Therapists help individuals become aware of unhealthy digital habits and guide them in setting boundaries โ like defining screen-free times or creating mindful tech routines.
Emotional Regulation
Many people experience anxiety, irritability, or loneliness due to digital overload. Therapy provides tools (like CBT, mindfulness, and journaling techniques) to manage these emotions effectively.
Healthy Coping Strategies
Instead of escaping stress by scrolling more, therapy encourages healthy coping โ such as hobbies, social connections, or relaxation practices.
Rebuilding Self-Worth
Social media often triggers comparison and low self-esteem. A therapist helps individuals detach their self-worth from โlikesโ and external validation, fostering genuine self-confidence.
Personalized Action Plan
Each personโs relationship with technology is unique. Therapy offers tailored strategies to reduce digital stress without cutting off the benefits of the digital world.
โจ In short, therapy doesnโt ask you to leave the digital space โ it empowers you to live in balance with it.
