Sis, you don’t owe the internet everything, especially your peace. In this episode of CTRL+ALT+REE, Dr. Ree explores the intersection of cyberpsychology, digital wellness, and the unique online experiences of Black women. From validation loops and comparison culture to the pressure of always being “on,” this episode unpacks how hyper-visibility can impact mental health. Using real examples from Love Island USA and examining how online narratives and social media culture can amplify harm. By the end of this episode, you will gain strategies for establishing digital boundaries, adopt cybersecurity practices that protect your data and well-being, and understand how actions such as muting, blocking, and disconnecting can serve as meaningful forms of self-care. Your boundaries are valid, your peace is sacred, and your healing is both offline and online.
