Living in a digital world - Are we connected...or ADDICTED?

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Kennedy and Tracy Markle LPC, experts in digital media overuse. This podcast shines a light on society’s overuse of digital media, the damaging effects and how parents can set limits on screen time. Tracy is the founder and co-director of Digital Media Treatment and Education Center (DTEC®). She specializes in the treatment and recovery from digital media overuse and addictions. Tracy and the team provide education, psychotherapy, and intervention support to individuals and their families who are impacted by the effects of technology and the common co-existing factors such as, depression, anxiety, isolation, academic failure, and more. Dr. Brett P. Kennedy is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and couples. As a “digital immigrant” to the technological revolution, Dr. Kennedy has seen both the pros and the perils that digital media brings to the lives of his clients by exploring both the complications, and conveniences that technology present in their personal and professional relationships as technology has been integrated into their lives and for the “digital natives” who grew up with technology as a part of their development.
