Vulnerability Around the Internet and Social Media

In this episode, Allan talks in detail about the complexities and dangers of using social media, particularly for somebody with difficulties arising from brain injury or neurological disorder. The ways in which social media can make socialising both more and less challenging are discussed, for example in terms of causing difficulties interpreting social cues, feeding poor self-image, and improving connectivity. Allan explains how he used important mistakes to reflect on how to use platforms positively.  Other topics include relationships and trust, dating apps, and tips for improving confidence and maintaining boundaries online.  @psychologychartered
