Are you struggling with the effects of digital addiction?
Right now, as a result of digital addiction, you may be experiencing:
- Persistent urges to check your devices even in inappropriate situations or when you’ve promised yourself you wouldn’t
- Difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries around screen time despite negative consequences
- Withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when unable to access your devices
- Sleep disturbances from late-night device use or the inability to disconnect before bedtime
- Neglect of important responsibilities, relationships, or self-care due to excessive digital engagement
- A sense that your online activities have become your primary source of reward, relaxation, or escape
- Continued escalation of use as you need more time online to achieve the same level of satisfaction
Your digital addiction may be getting in the way of your life in these ways:
- Your relationships suffer from divided attention, reduced quality time, or conflicts about your device use
- Your productivity at work or in personal projects is compromised by constant digital distractions
- Your physical health is affected by sedentary behavior, disrupted sleep, or repetitive stress injuries
- Your emotional well-being is impacted by comparison with curated online lives or exposure to negative content
- Your ability to be fully present in meaningful moments is diminished by the pull of digital engagement
You’re wondering…
- How can I maintain a healthy relationship with technology when it’s so integrated into modern life?
- Is my digital use actually an addiction, or am I just part of a society-wide shift in behavior?
- What’s happening in my brain that makes disconnecting from devices so difficult?
- How can I regain control without feeling like I’m missing out or falling behind?
- What would my life look like if I weren’t constantly tethered to my devices?
You’re longing for…
- A balanced relationship with technology where you control your devices rather than feeling controlled by them.
- The ability to be fully present in your real-life experiences without the constant pull of digital distraction.
- Meaningful connections with others that aren’t mediated through screens or interrupted by notifications.
- Mental clarity and focus that comes from regular breaks from information overload and digital stimulation.
- Confidence in your ability to set and maintain healthy digital boundaries that align with your values.
How we can help you.
At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that digital addiction develops in a culture that normalizes constant connectivity and often requires digital engagement for work and social functioning. Our therapists create a non-judgmental environment where we can explore your unique patterns of digital use and the needs it may be fulfilling or masking.
What you’re longing for is possible.
By pursuing trauma therapy for digital addiction, you can imagine the following:
You feel a constant pull toward your devices, checking them compulsively throughout the day and night.
You maintain healthy boundaries around technology use that align with your values and priorities.
Your attempts to cut back on digital use are short-lived, leaving you feeling defeated and out of control.
You engage with digital media intentionally rather than compulsively, making conscious choices about when and how you connect.
Your relationships, work, or health suffer from the consequences of excessive screen time.
You recognize and effectively manage triggers that previously led to excessive digital engagement.
You experience anxiety or discomfort when separated from your devices, even briefly.
You find satisfaction in offline activities and relationships, reducing your dependence on digital stimulation.
Your real-life experiences are frequently interrupted or diminished by digital distractions.
You use technology as a tool that enhances your life rather than as an escape that diminishes it.
