Dopamine Diaries

Real Reason You Can't Stop Scrolling


Listen Later

Okay you guys, this one is so good and I think it's going to hit for a lot of you.

This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my clients, and honestly? The awareness she showed blew me away. We've been working together on identifying the emotions that are actually driving her actions throughout the day, and what she shared with me was just chef's kiss in terms of how much she's grown.

We're talking about the two to three day benders. You know what I mean. The doom scrolling, the eating like garbage, the canceling plans, the not wanting to do anything. And I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone, your phone is not the problem. The apps are not the problem. The problem is the emotion underneath all of it that nobody is actually helping you identify or deal with.

Blocking apps, locking your phone in a drawer, deleting Instagram for a month none of that is fixing what's actually going on. And I think deep down, most of you already know that.

We're getting into:

  • Why your scrolling habit is really just an unmet need in disguise
  • What my client's story taught me about the power of self-awareness
  • Why willpower-based fixes will always make the urge worse
  • What it actually looks like to have a neutral relationship with your phone

There is nothing wrong with you. There is just an emotion that nobody has helped you figure out yet. Let's change that.
