Digital media can inform, connect, and empower us. Doomscrolling can also overwhelm the nervous system, intensify distress, and make it difficult to disengage.

The goal is not to eliminate social media or online news. It is to help clients understand how digital media affects their brains and bodies so that they can make healthier choices about how they engage.

These resources help therapists explore how digital media may affect a client’s mood, attention, and nervous system—and support clients in making more intentional choices about how they engage online.

Why NeuroMedia Literacy?

When clients use social media, read online news, or watch digital content, they do more than process information. Their bodies and nervous systems respond to what they see.
