Mind If We Talk?

How to Stop Doomscrolling


Listen Later

The world can feel like a heavy place—and for many, the constant stream of news only makes it harder to cope. So what happens when your empathy turns into anxiety, guilt, and doomscrolling?


On this episode, host and therapist Haesue Jo talks with singer-songwriter David Archuleta, who opens up about the emotional toll of doomscrolling, the feeling of being stuck in cycles of helplessness, and how coming out as gay has reshaped his understanding of himself and the world around him. He also shares how community—and honest conversations—have helped him begin to heal.


Then, Haesue is joined by Sarah Close, a licensed professional counselor with BetterHelp. Together, they unpack the psychological impact of consuming distressing news and therapeutic strategies to help you break the cycle.


If you’ve ever felt stuck in endless scrolling, and powerless in the face of the news—or just needed permission to step away from it all—this episode is for you.
