  • Episode 59: Technology Addiction with Michael S., LPC, from W. Hartford CT
    Addiction comes in all shapes and sizes. In this week's episode, we focus on how technology impacts the pleasure systems of the brain in ways similar to substances.
    Michael's approach to counseling those who are struggling with technology addiction issues is unique based on his own experience and his struggles and success with addiction recovery. Michael knows recovery takes time, acceptance, daily work, and keen awareness. One of his mottos: Small consistent daily actions create big and lasting change.
    Michael has appeared on MSNBC, Fox, the Today show, iHeartRadio, and in the Hartford Courant. His new book, Technology Addiction: A Guide to Recognize and Deal with Technology Dependence in Our Lives, is a roadmap for those who want to recover from any substance or behavior.
