The Physiological Cost of Going Viral - Dr Justin Coulson explains

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Australia’s most trusted parenting expert, author, and psychologist, Dr. Justin Coulson. He breaks down the terrifying neurobiology of public scrutiny and trolling, explaining why high emotions equal low intelligence- and why your brain literally starves itself of oxygen when you’re under online attack. Finally, we dive into the digital battleground our kids are facing. As a dad of six daughters, Justin delivers some hard-hitting, candid truths about the shockingly early age Australian kids are being exposed to violent online pornography. You’ll hear Julie Inman-Grant is also featured on this episode as I reflect on a conversation I had with her last year about this topic. If you are a parent, a creator, or just someone trying to survive the lawless wasteland of the internet, this episode is an urgent wake-up call. ______________________________________________________________________________ His socials INSTA instagram.com/drjustincoulson WEBSITE happyfamilies.com.au PODCAST podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dr-justin-coulsons-happy-families/id1082244480 My socials INSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamayding instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Australia’s most trusted parenting expert, author, and psychologist, Dr. Justin Coulson. He breaks down the terrifying neurobiology of public scrutiny and trolling, explaining why high emotions equal low intelligence- and why your brain literally starves itself of oxygen when you’re under online attack. 

Finally, we dive into the digital battleground our kids are facing. As a dad of six daughters, Justin delivers some hard-hitting, candid truths about the shockingly early age Australian kids are being exposed to violent online pornography.

You’ll hear Julie Inman-Grant is also featured on this episode as I reflect on a conversation I had with her last year about this topic. If you are a parent, a creator, or just someone trying to survive the lawless wasteland of the internet, this episode is an urgent wake-up call.
