As a therapist and as a dad, I often worry about what's happening to the minds and brains of our children who spend huge portions of the day with their noses in their phones. Here are two very interesting links to help answer. The first is Daniel Siegel, a very well known therapist/ doctor/ researcher/ author from UCLA who spends a great deal of time thinking/ writing/ teaching about how our brains work and develop. The second is an interview I did with Dr. Jody Echegary, a therapist/ teacher who also spends a lot of time thinking and teaching on how media helps shape us.
Social media is dominating most of our attention throughout the day. Yet, is it truly changing our face-to-face relationships? Dr. Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine reveals how social media is actually physically rewiring our brains.
