I often say I left social media because I was anxiously-attached to Instagram… but what does that actually mean?!

Today I’m joined by psychotherapist and author Shannon Algeo to explore why Attachment Theory explains so much about technology and smartphone addiction.

We discuss their new book, The Power in Your Hands, as we talk about:

  • What it means to be anxious, avoidant, or securely-attached
  • How algorithms hack our attachment needs to get us addicted to platforms
  • Why it’s so harmful to outsource self-trust to social media or AI
  • Depth psychology & why human relationships are necessary for healing

 
⭐️ If you’re curious about these topics, please join us for a FREE BOOK CLUB with Shannon on June 10th! We’ll talk more about attachment + technology. No reading is required. Find the details and RSVP here.
