I am a psychologist with a focus on helping people improve well-being, especially the mindful use of technology in order to maintain healthy, balanced lives.

When it comes to how screens affect us, the "truth" doesn't make the headlines.

One of the many downsides of social media...yeah, I'm tweeting this: As India Votes, False Posts and Hate Speech Flummox Facebook https://t.co/aqDWL2RpL6

We spend a lot of time on our phones, and checking it in public can cause disconnection and missed opportunities to engage socially. Maybe it's time to think of checking our phone like blowing our nose.

Our phones have become almost like a parasite that is quietly leeching away our happiness and productivity. The good news is that a more mindful use of our devices can yield big results.

Much like moths are drawn to a flame, we seem to be drawn to social media. Why?

I was recently interviewed by Rebecca Muller of @thrive THRIVE Global regarding why teens need to set some boundaries on group chats and how to do it. Rebecca pulled everything together well! Hopefully, some teens can make tweaks to group chats...

I enjoyed being interviewed by @rinarap of @TLCmeNow regarding kids and cell phones. They CAN be a healthy mix, but it takes a bit of work to hit the sweet spot.

I like this article explaining the "backfire effect." This is a form of confirmation bias that, when confronted with info that contradicts a held belief, results in us "doubling down" on our original belief. https://t.co/D9LE7MiwQg
