Description
Welcome to today’s session, which is a conversation/coaching call with a member of our Online Course Mastermind. We focus today on the dilemma that comes along with social media. While social media is a fantastic way to connect with people and build your online presence, it can be a major source of distraction, comparison, and even addiction. How do you handle the tension that comes with social media if you don’t really like being there? This is a common struggle for many clinicians, including me, and this makes me think more intentionally about how to show up while guarding my time against a social media takeover. Join us as we explore the hidden dangers and potential benefits of social media and learn how to handle the tension that comes with it.Our Featured Guest for today’s coaching callElizabeth Penela, Ph.D.Dr. Elizabeth Penela (Ellie) is a licensed psychologist in Florida who works primarily with families of anxious kids.
