In this episode of Secondhand Therapy, we dive into dopamine detox, phone addiction, and what happens when you remove distractions from your life. One host quits his smartphone, switches to a Light Phone, ditches Bluetooth, and starts living with extreme intention—only to realize it’s way harder (and more uncomfortable) than expected.

We talk about doomscrolling, online shopping addiction, constant comparison, and the feeling of always searching for something you can’t define. Is modern technology making us anxious, disconnected, and unhappy?

We also get into family dynamics, political tension, overthinking, and the struggle with self-worth—especially when you assume people are judging you. Why do we spiral about what others think? And how do you stop?

This episode is about slowing down, being present, and learning how to sit with discomfort instead of escaping it.

Topics include:

• Dopamine detox & digital minimalism
• Phone addiction & social media habits
• Intentional living & mindfulness
• Anxiety, overthinking, and shame
• Family conflict & emotional triggers
• Self-worth and comparison

If you’ve ever felt addicted to your phone, stuck in your thoughts, or unsure if you’re growing or just spiraling—this one’s for you.
