This week, John Moring, CFRE, Director of Advancement of Archway Academy, is filling in for Sasha and Jamie as he chats with Clifford Sussman, M.D. Dr. Sussman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychotherapist who has been a pioneer in recognizing and treating internet gaming disorder since 2008, long before it became recognized by the World Health Organization as an official diagnosis.

As an expert consultant, he helped develop the first Digital Use Disorder track at Caron Renaissance Treatment Center. He is a frequent educator and presenter on this topic and trains other clinicians as well. As a programmer, software developer, and a gamer himself, he is dedicated to helping people achieve healthier, more balanced relationships with digital technology.

A Way Through invites you to join in on the conversation and hear stories of triumph, self-discovery, and healing. Be sure to subscribe to A Way Through to stay updated on each new episode and leave a review of the show!
