Auf dieser Bank im Park sitzen zwei Männer, die fast gleich aussehen. Der eine ist etwas älter und etwas größer, der andere etwas jünger und kleiner. Ansonsten könnten sie beinahe Brüder sein: ähnliche Kleidung, ähnliche Haltung und dieselbe konzentrierte, aber irgendwie auch verschmitzte Miene. Zwischen ihnen liegt ein Blatt Papier. Ich schätze mal, es ist eine Liste. Der Größere hält einen Kugelschreiber in der Hand, der Kleinere beugt sich immer wieder vor, um besser sehen zu können. Hin und wieder zeigt einer auf eine Zeile. Dann reden sie leise miteinander, nicken sehr ernst oder schütteln langsam den Kopf, als müssten sie über etwas entscheiden, das mindestens den weiteren Verlauf des Nachmittags betrifft. Dabei packen sie ihre Brote aus. Auch das machen sie erstaunlich langsam. Der Größere öffnet seine Brotdose mit großer Sorgfalt, nimmt sein Brot heraus und betrachtet es erst einmal. Der Kleinere faltet das Papier um sein Brot ordentlich auseinander und streicht es auf seinem Schoß glatt. Dann beißen beide hinein, kauen lange und sagen eine Weile gar nichts. Zwischendurch beobachten sie die Menschen um sich herum. Manchmal scheint einer etwas entdeckt zu haben und deutet möglichst unauffällig in eine Richtung. Der andere schaut hin, denkt kurz nach und sagt etwas, das ich nicht verstehen kann. Danach wird wieder auf die Liste geschaut. Man kann nicht erkennen, woran die beiden arbeiten. Es sieht ein bisschen nach Besprechung aus, nur ohne Eile und ohne jeden erkennbaren Anlass: zwei Männer auf einer Parkbank, zwei Brote, ein Kugelschreiber und eine Liste, deren Bearbeitung offenbar ruhig den ganzen Nachmittag dauern darf. Plötzlich merken sie, dass ich sie beobachte, sie schieben ihre Brotdosen zur Seite, stehen langsam auf bewegen sich langsam auf mich zu.

What's up bros? Well, we found the worst hanxiety/TikTok combination and that's apparently getting drunk and then watching people all over talk about you being drunk and exaggerating what you were doing. Count us in for never wanting that action. While Riley struggles to come to grips with exactly what happened and who played what role, Shai is struggling with whether he should tell Hudson that Liam is hitting on his ex - he should totally ask Charlie what to do. On the subject of Charlie, everyone needs to get over their issue with him if they want the show to be successful. That's it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

主播：Meimei（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：Yellow最近，一个问题被越来越多的家长和研究者反复提起：为什么我们越来越难专心？这个特别的专题，我们将会分别讨论，到底是什么占据了我们的注意力？我们又该如何更好的分配我们的时间？01. Brain Rot？“脑腐”现象从何而来很多家长说，现在的孩子越来越坐不住，越来越难专注。但很快一个更关键的问题被提出——Are children really the only ones struggling(挣扎)?一个很典型的对比是：A child can't finish homework without checking a screen. An adult can't finish a movie without checking their phone（孩子写作业离不开屏幕，成年人看电影也会忍不住看手机。）问题看起来不只是“孩子的问题”，而更像是一种更普遍的状态。在讨论中提到一个被称为“brain rot emergency”（“脑腐危机”）的概念。有专家指出，这并不是在说 technology is bad（科技本身有问题），而是在描述一种现象：我们的 attention is being constantly competed for（注意力正在被不断争夺）。有人把这种状态形容为 living inside a giant attention marketplace（生活在一个巨大的注意力市场中）。在这个“市场”里：Everybody wants your attention. Social media (社交媒体) wants it. News apps (新闻软件)want it. Even shopping apps (购物软件) want it. Attention has become one of the most valuable things (最宝贵的资源之一) we own.02. Attention Span为什么我们越来越难集中？ 很多人都会说一句话：“I used to be able to focus.”（我以前是可以专心的）但现在，attention span（专注力持续时间）似乎发生了变化。Attention span is how long you can stay focused on one thing before your mind wants to switch（专注力是你在想切换注意力之前能持续专注的时间）。以前可以完整看完一部两小时电影，现在很多人 ten minutes in reach for their phone（拿起手机）。原因并不是单纯的无聊，而是 because our brains have become used to constant stimulation（持续刺激）。不管是new videos（新视频）,还是new messages（新消息），再或者是new notifications（新通知）。The brain starts expecting novelty (期待新鲜感) all the time，and gets bored very easily（也更容易感到无聊）。novelty：新鲜的事物03. Doomscrolling：为什么我们停不下来？节目中提到一个非常典型的行为：doomscrolling（灾难式刷手机）。Doom 指“灾难”，scrolling 指“滑动浏览”。Doomscrolling 指的是：明明知道这些内容会让自己焦虑，但 still can't stop scrolling（还是停不下来继续刷）。典型过程是：“You tell yourself: just one more video.”（告诉自己再看一个）Then an hour passes.研究发现，人类大脑 is naturally attracted to negative information（天然更容易被负面信息吸引）。这是因为 thousands of years ago（在很久以前），关注危险信息 helped us survive（帮助我们生存）。另一个重要概念是 instant gratification（即时满足）。Instant gratification means getting a reward immediately（立刻获得奖励）。比如：刷到有趣视频→ instant reward（即时奖励）收到点赞→ instant reward（即时反馈）收到消息→ another reward（另一个奖励）但现实生活是不同的：Things take time（很多事情需要时间）。Learning a language takes months（学语言需要几个月）。Getting fit takes time（健身需要时间）。These things all take time（这些事情都需要长期积累）。问题在于our brains start preferring quick rewards over long-term rewards（偏好即时奖励，而不是长期回报）。很多家长担心孩子沉迷手机，但节目中提出一个关键问题：Are children simply copying adults?（孩子是不是在模仿成年人？）Children don't just listen to adults. They watch adults（孩子不仅听成年人说什么，也在观察成年人怎么做）。如果家长一边说 “don't use your phone”（不要玩手机），一边 every few minutes checking their own phone（自己不断看手机），这种行为本身就构成了矛盾。Many of the challenges we see in children are also showing up in adults（孩子的问题，其实在成年人身上也存在）。It's not just a children's issue anymore. It's become a human problem（这已经变成一个人类共同的问题）。04. Our brain is adaptable大脑是有适应能力的尽管问题看起来严重，但研究并不是完全悲观的。Attention is adaptable（注意力是可以适应和改变的），just like a muscle（就像肌肉一样）。The more you practice focusing, the stronger it becomes（越练习专注，能力越强）。重点并不是完全远离 technology（科技），而是 learning to use it intentionally（有意识地使用它）。让技术成为工具，而不是被它牵着走。So maybe the question isn't: Why can't kids focus anymore?（问题或许不是“为什么孩子越来越难专心”）But rather: Why is it getting harder for all of us?（而是“为什么我们所有人都越来越难专心？”）If children are struggling with attention…maybe they are just reflecting what is already happening in adults（也许他们只是放大了成年人已经发生的状态）。欢迎在评论区留言：你上一次连续专注一小时做一件事是什么时候？When was the last time you focused on one thing for an entire hour?

A large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents that has been active for millions of years and that's responsible for our warm climate is in danger of collapse due to climate change. This is according to a new study published in April in the journal Science Advances. If that collapse actually happens, scientists warn, the consequences could be dire. Shane Elipot, a physical oceanographer at the University of Miami and one of the authors of the study, joins The Excerpt to share his findings.

What if your nervous system is paying attention to far more than you realise?In this week's Inner Work, I reflect on my conversation with Health Psychologist Dr Sula Windgassen and explore the idea that our bodies are constantly taking in messages about safety, worth and belonging.We consider what happens when we repeatedly dismiss our own feelings, stay silent when something doesn't sit right, or fill our environments with content that leaves us feeling "less than".This isn't about dramatic life changes. It's about the small moments of self-advocacy, self-respect and self-compassion that can quietly reshape how we experience ourselves and the world around us.Highlights00:00 Your nervous system is always listening00:32 The cost of invalidating yourself01:01 Self-advocacy and safe relationships02:06 Doomscrolling and protecting your nervous system02:38 Retraining your algorithm03:11 Final reflectionsMy Inner Work series is a space to pause and think more deeply about yourself.

What if the best productivity hack isn't another app, AI tool, or social media strategy? What if it's simply walking away? In this episode of Rebel Momma Pod, host Sarah Castañeda sits down with ADHD coach Russ Jones, founder of ADHD Big Brother, for an honest conversation about social media addiction, doomscrolling, entrepreneurship, accountability, and building a life that aligns with your values. Russ shares why he deleted Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, how social media was impacting his mental health, and why he believes many adults with ADHD are trapped in systems that drain their attention and energy. Together, they explore the pressure to constantly scale, hustle, and stay visible online, and what happens when you decide to do things differently. They also dive into the power of accountability, why AI can't replace human support, and how community can be one of the most effective tools for adults with ADHD. This episode is a refreshing reminder that success doesn't have to look like everyone else's version of success.

What happens when a society possesses extraordinary technological power but lacks a shared sense of what that power is for? John Vervaeke, Jordan Hall, Guy Sengstock, and Christopher Mastropietro reunite for a sustained inquiry into normativity: the structures by which human beings perceive direction, value, responsibility, and the difference between better and worse action. The question becomes urgent in the context of artificial intelligence, where increasingly consequential decisions are being made inside a culture that struggles to articulate a coherent basis for judgment. The conversation begins with Guy's encounters with the AI community and the fear that humanity may soon make decisions it cannot reverse. From there, the group investigates modernity's technological understanding of being, the reduction of creation to artifacts, and the modern self's attachment to sole authorship. John and Jordan propose that meaning is participatory: intelligibility is not manufactured by isolated selves but emerges through shared authorship with other people, traditions, practices, and reality itself. The dialogue then turns toward virtue. If the problem is not simply ignorance but malformed attention and desire, knowing what should be done is insufficient. The deeper difficulty is how people become capable of wanting, perceiving, and participating in what is good. Socratic aporia, vulnerability, kenosis, embodied practice, pilgrimage, and dialogue are explored as ways of undergoing reorientation rather than merely acquiring information. In the final movement, the speakers discuss bad-faith dialogue, leisure, lingering, tourism, linguistic lostness, and doomscrolling. These apparently different subjects converge on one insight: when people remain sealed inside environments engineered around their existing capacities and preferences, they lose access to the forms of friction, surprise, and participation that can transform them. Key Insights Normativity is the directional structure through which actions appear better, worse, appropriate, or necessary. The AI crisis exposes a deeper cultural inability to answer what technology should serve. Modernity often confuses participation in creation with ownership of the resulting artifact. Meaning and intelligibility require shared authorship rather than sovereign individual control. Virtue cannot be transmitted as information alone; it requires transformed attention and participation. Embodied practices can reorganize abstractions because higher cognition remains rooted in sensorimotor life. Pilgrimage, leisure, and dialogos help people cross boundaries between worlds rather than consuming only familiar inputs. Doomscrolling is an efficient example of technology feeding hypertrophied capacities while narrowing participation in reality.

Doomscrolling wastes your time, makes you dumb and insecure, and teaches you nothing. But is that any different from Saturday morning cartoons from back in the day? Is it any different from adults checking their phones before bed? Yes and no.

“There's a big exam on Friday. Will I get invited to the party? Will I even get into college?” There are so many things bouncing around our teens' heads. No wonder anxiety is at an all-time high. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss why anxiety and depression are affecting so many teens today.Why This MattersTeens today are carrying enormous emotional pressure, often silently. Dads play a critical role in helping teens feel safe, understood, and supported as they navigate anxiety, stress, and emotional struggles.Key TakeawaysTeen girls often feel intense pressure around appearance, relationships, and perfection.Teen boys frequently hide anxiety because they fear looking weak or vulnerable.Doomscrolling and nonstop exposure to negative content can increase anxiety and emotional stress.Emotional struggles are not always obvious, especially in quiet or high-performing kids.Dads need to prioritize listening, empathy, and emotional safety over simply “fixing” problems.Practical Tips for Dads1.    Listen and empathize first.Don't minimize your teen's feelings, even if their worries seem small to you. Their experiences are real to them.2.    Create emotional safety.Let your kids know they can talk honestly without fear of judgment or shame.3.    Teach that stress is normal.Help teens understand that challenges, pressure, and setbacks are part of life and can build resilience.4.    Avoid rescuing too quickly.Support your kids through struggles without solving every problem for them.5.    Pay attention to hidden anxiety.Quiet kids and boys especially may hide emotional struggles behind silence, anger, or withdrawal.6.    Limit unhealthy influences.Monitor social media, doomscrolling, and comparison-heavy content that increases emotional pressure.7.    Teach healthy coping mechanisms.Encourage exercise, sleep, deep breathing, positive thinking, outdoor activity, and face-to-face relationships.8.    Reinforce value outside performance.Help your teens know they are loved for who they are, not just what they achieve.Important Episode Timestamps  [00:00] Why Are So Many Teens Struggling with Anxiety and Depression? Ted introduces the episode's central question and sets up a practical conversation for any dad raising an anxious child. [00:40] Did You Struggle with Anxiety Growing Up?BJ, Bobby, and Ted share their own middle and high school anxiety stories.[02:54] What the Research Says About Anxiety in Teen Boys vs. GirlsPew Research found that anxiety and depression rank as the top struggle for both boys and girls, making it vital dads learn how to help kids with anxiety.[04:22] Girls and Boys Experience Anxiety Differently Girls face unique pressures around appearance, comparison, and performance, while boys deal with anxiety in other areas.[08:19] Why Dads Must Create a Safe Space for Sons to Talk About Anxiety Ted shares how he discovered his son's anxiety through a family friend and makes the case that dads must know how to help sons with anxiety.[09:28] Social Pressure, Bullying, and the Peer Comparison Trap BJ and Bobby break down how fitting in, physical and social bullying, and the pressure to keep up with peers quietly fuel anxiety.[11:25] How Doomscrolling Is Making Teen Anxiety WorseBJ explains why Harvard Health research shows girls are hit harder by doomscrolling than boys.[13:17] The Chemical Reality: Why Teen Girls Can Become Anxious About Being Anxious Bobby shares research from the Child Mind Institute explaining how puberty and emotional sensitivity can cause girls' anxiety to compound while boys' tend to bottle things up.[15:03] Listen, Empathize, and Normalize Anxiety Instead of Trying to Fix It The dads walk through what it actually looks like to show up for an anxious kid.[19:22] The Pro MoveAsk your teen, “What gives you the most anxiety right now, and how do you usually deal with it?” Then listen carefully, empathize honestly, and resist the urge to immediately fix the problem.Sponsor:The All Pro Dad Podcast is proudly brought to you by Family First, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping parents with resources to strengthen their families.

Is brain rot caused by screen time just a Gen Z problem — or does it affect everyone supporting those living with dementia? The term brain rot was coined by Henry David Thoreau in 1854 to describe the preference for simple ideas over complex ones. Today, endless scrolling and passive screen time have made it a modern epidemic — and it has real implications for dementia care.

Sometimes you doomscroll, sometimes the doom scrolls you. This week Ian presents new evidence to back his argument that we are, in fact, doomed. We love you!

It starts with one scroll… and before you know it, you're overwhelmed, anxious, and mentally drained. So, what's really happening to us in this always changing world? We bring together psychology and workplace insight to unpack doomscrolling, global stress, and how to build healthier ways of staying informed.

Warum sind wir eigentlich ständig beschäftigt, aber trotzdem nie wirklich fertig? Zwischen To-Do-Listen, E-Mail-Inbox, Slack, Kalendern, Social Media und den berühmten Man-müsste-mal-Aufgaben entsteht schnell das Gefühl, dass Produktivität vor allem aus Reagieren besteht. Genau hier setzen wir an und sprechen darüber, warum Zeitmanagement oft gar kein Zeitmanagement ist, sondern Selbstverwaltung, Priorisierung und ein ziemlich ehrlicher Blick auf den eigenen Alltag.In dieser Episode ist Dirk Deimeke zu Gast, Systems Engineer bei der Swisscom, Open-Source-Enthusiast, Podcaster und Buchautor. Mit ihm diskutieren wir Methoden wie Getting Things Done, Inbox Zero, Time-Blocking, Eat the Frog und die Zwei-Minuten-Regel. Wir sprechen über Doomscrolling, Digital Wellbeing, Benachrichtigungen, persönliche To-Do-Systeme, Notizen-Chaos, Kalenderpflege und die Frage, warum Tools selten das eigentliche Problem lösen. Außerdem geht es um Gewohnheiten, Reviews, Overcommitment, Stressbewältigung, Work-Life-Balance für Wissensarbeit und darum, wie du einen Methoden-Mix findest, der wirklich zu deinem Workflow passt.Wenn du dich schon mal gefragt hast, wie du fokussierter arbeitest, weniger vergisst, bewusster priorisierst und trotz Job, Side Projects, Open Source, Podcast, Familie oder Tech Community nicht komplett im Task-Berg versinkst, dann ist diese Folge für dich. Oder anders gesagt: Vielleicht brauchst du kein neues Tool, sondern nur den Mut, mal einen Task zu löschen.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Don't Hate, Cultivate: Turning Negativity Into Community Help   Juan reflects on how easy and even enjoyable it can be to "hate" or judge others—citing examples like comic book movies, social media, the news, and everyday relationships—but argues it's ultimately unsatisfying. Inspired by a "Don't hate, cultivate" shirt from Cultivate Coffee in Phoenix, they propose cultivating as a remedy: creating, connecting, referring others, supporting events, and helping "the helpers," echoing Mr. Rogers' idea of looking for helpers during crises. They emphasize that small acts—showing up, donating, introducing people, borrowing sugar from neighbors to build mutual support—strengthen community and reduce envy, fear, and doomscrolling. The call to action is to ask how you can help, ask for help yourself, and redirect negative energy into constructive action or support for someone you trust.   00:00 Are You a Hater 00:35 Why Hating Feels Good 01:02 Dont Hate Cultivate 02:00 Cultivating Through Referrals 02:45 Look for the Helpers 04:41 Doomscrolling and Outrage 06:03 It Takes a Village 06:47 Neighbor Sugar Story 07:59 Ask for Help Too 08:19 Flip Hate Into Action 09:06 Final Sendoff  

Was hilft gegen Doomscrolling? Rote Pandas! Aber zwischen all diesen roten Pandas müssen wir über diese Dinge sprechen. Zum Beispiel darüber, dass, obwohl Meta letzte Woche angekündigt hat, die Probleme mit ihrem Chatbot und willkürlichen Account-Takeovers und -Sperrungen langsam in den Griff zu kriegen, es nicht wirklich danach aussieht. Über den SpaceX-IPO. Und darüber, dass Bluesky jetzt mehr so werden möchte, wie Reddit. Wieso auch immer. Dann doch lieber rote Pandas. ➡️ Die offene Erklärung für ein europäisches Social Web: https://european.social ➡️ Qwant-Ergebnisseite für Rote Pandas: https://www.qwant.com/?l=de&t=images&q=roter+panda ➡️ Mit der "Haken Dran"-Community ins Gespräch kommen könnt ihr am besten im Discord: http://hakendran.org

Are you constantly angry or exhausted? The content you consume acts as your internal weather, and a toxic mental diet is quietly destroying your reality. Based on the show notes from "Be careful of your mental diet", your brain cannot tell the difference between your real life and online outrage.Doomscrolling black pill forums or political cycles locks your nervous system into permanent fear. By auditing your inputs and escaping these emotional traps, you will completely rewrite your daily state.VIDEOS TO WATCH NEXT:Watch this playlist to figure out how to fix your failing marriage: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPuu_G8-sTLS7eXT7myvidMFWatch this playlist to help you get over your ex for good: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPsZ9JCTSAIkin-oMnavqNJZWatch this playlist to develop an unshakable frame and take control of your life: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPvgN8idHfGfOp3gA8Y0tMxT&si=NccZ6koKYz3hSuUz--------------------------------------------FREE EBOOKS➡️ She's Made You Weak: https://ebook.fixdeadbedrooms.com➡️ Fine...

Hi Parents! In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Erica Rozmid, a board-certified clinical psychologist and expert in evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, to explore the impact of social media and screen time on teen mental health. Together, we dive into the growing concern of doomscrolling and how constant exposure to negative content, comparison, and information overload can contribute to anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and low mood in teens. Dr. Rozmid introduces the powerful concept of shifting from “tech monitoring” to “tech mentoring,” helping parents move beyond simply limiting screen time and instead guide their teens toward healthier, more mindful technology use. We explore how parents can recognize when social media use is becoming problematic, what warning signs to look for, and how to support teens in breaking the cycle of excessive scrolling without creating power struggles. This conversation also highlights the importance of modelling healthy digital habits as parents and creating a home environment where technology supports well-being rather than undermines it. If you're feeling concerned about your teen's relationship with screens, social media, or their mental health, this episode offers practical tools, expert insights, and a more connected, supportive approach to navigating the digital world together.

America's a funny place. It's not a country with a fixed geographic or religious identity. We don't have a common story of divine creation. "What we have," writes Ben Rhodes in his new book, ⁠All We Say⁠, "are words." The words of the founding documents, yes — but also "the words of speeches spoken by Americans who call us to be that better version of ourselves." Ben has spent more time with great American speeches than just about anyone. For eight years, he was a speechwriter in the Obama White House, crafting some of the defining oratory of the era. His new book is a 250-year tour through 15 speeches that built the country, challenged it, and raised its sights. He tells us how FDR changed the course of WWII from behind the lectern, how MLK ad-libbed one of the most famous lines in American history, and what Obama's 2008 speech about race can teach today's politicians about storytelling. And he makes the case that America needs great oratory now more than it has in a long time.

We're back — and this time, with intention.In this first episode we're diving straight into something that may be quietly keeping you from everything God has called you to: doomscrolling.Proverbs 4:23-27 tells us to guard our hearts above all else — but how can we do that when we're constantly drowning it out with noise, distractions, and endless scrolling? In this episode, we talk honestly about how the habit of consuming content non-stop can block your ability to hear from the Holy Spirit, walk in your purpose, and experience the healing God has for you.This is your sign to put the phone down and tune back in — to God, to yourself, and to your calling.

Are you doomscrolling? Here's how to H.O.P.E. ⚓ by Fr. Michael Denk

The News Is Broken—And It's Breaking Your Brain BREAKING NEWS!” Every alert is urgent. Every headline is a crisis. Every story is supposedly the end of the world. But what if the real problem isn't the news… it's the way the news is built? Today on The Karel Show, we dive into the nonstop outrage machine that modern media has become. Fear, anger, panic, urgency—it's all engineered to keep you watching, clicking, doom-scrolling and emotionally exhausted. Are we finally tuning out because the news itself is broken? We'll look at today's biggest headlines and ask: * Which stories truly matter? * Which are manufactured outrage? * And how much of “breaking news” is actually broken journalism? Also: Primm, Nevada—the once-iconic stop between Las Vegas and California—is becoming a modern ghost town. So what killed it? Bad planning? Changing travel habits? Corporate greed? We'll break down the slow collapse of a desert landmark. And the Pope issues a massive warning about Artificial Intelligence in a 43,000-word address—and the tech world immediately shrugs it off. Is the Vatican overreacting… or seeing something Silicon Valley refuses to admit? The Karel Show streams live Monday through Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete's ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete's “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham's vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they'd take if stranded forever. There's also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.00:00 Portugal Detox & Party Recovery 01:14 Peter Gets Humbled At Tennis 03:00 “Consistency Is Key In Tennis” 04:31 Ross Update & Listener Messages 04:58 Abbey Hates Seeing Pete Lose 05:26 Abbey's Fear Of Tennis Lessons 06:27 Abbey Opens Up About Childhood & Sport 07:20 Abbey vs Peter: Ultimate Sports Day 08:31 The Couple Argument Everyone Has 10:11 Abbey's Strict Family Diary System 12:03 Why Busy Couples Always Clash 12:49 The Weirdest Relationship Ick 13:28 Running Up Stairs Debate 15:14 Abbey Reveals Her Biggest Insecurity 15:45 Abbey Discovers A “Normal” Listener 16:26 Abbey's Celebrity Lookalike Debate 18:05 Couples Sharing Hobbies Goes Wrong 19:14 TV Shows They Refuse To Watch Together 20:37 Hunger Games & Comfort Movies 21:39 The Best Holiday Advice Ever 22:52 Tail's.com Ad Read 24:28 Desert Island Dilemmas Begin 25:35 The One Book They'd Save Forever 27:31 Roald Dahl & Childhood Reading Memories 28:07 Abbey's Disturbing Book Confession 30:15 The Secret To Getting Kids Reading 30:55 Desert Island Albums 31:41 Oasis, Nostalgia & Dad Rock Arguments 34:04 Abbey's Beckham Garden Obsession 35:34 Doomscrolling & “Ignorance Is Bliss” 36:19 Peter's James Bond Fantasy Life 36:40 Peter's Visit To Eton 37:49 Inside Eton's Incredible Traditions 39:15 What Makes Privileged Kids Different? 41:02 The Reality Of Elite Schools 42:40 The Team Debate Luxury & Success 44:18 What They'd Actually Miss On A Desert Island 46:03 Desert Island Guilty Pleasures 47:51 Holiday Packing Essentials 49:20 Things Couples Secretly Judge Each Other For 51:08 Their Most Addictive Habits 52:44 Listener Dilemmas Return 54:33 Final Portugal Reflections 56:17 EndTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Most of us are walking around in a low-grade state of fight-or-flight all the time, and we don't even realize it. It looks like the tight jaw in the morning, the exhaustion that doesn't lead to sleep, or the feeling of being on edge even on a good day.  These are signs of a nervous system that never got the signal that it's safe to come down. In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson from my new free video course called Everything is Terrible: An Anxiety Toolkit for the Age of Doomscrolling. It's a five-lesson toolkit for people who care deeply about the world and are quietly exhausted by the weight of it. Each lesson is a standalone tool you can use when you need it. This episode shares an excerpt from one of these lessons, covering: -What's actually happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight -How to manually activate your parasympathetic nervous system even when the external world is still chaotic -Two specific breathing techniques you can use anywhere to send your body the "all clear" signal -Grounding phrases for when your body has settled but your brain is still spinning.

Matt introduces "doomscrolling," linking compulsive online consumption to worsened sleep and mental health. He tracks social media's rise (1997-2016), noting increased addiction. By 2016, 82% of 12th graders spent six hours daily online, often at sleep's expense. Matt also highlights heightened psychological distress in adolescent girls due to comparison-focused platforms.Noting that "doomscrolling" is tied to FOMO, addiction, and distress, he describes a bidirectional loop: poor sleep drives doomscrolling, intensifying depression, further degrading sleep. Challenging the blue light myth, Matt shows minimal sleep onset delay. And identifies cognitive/emotional arousal and the FOMO-rumination-procrastination cycle as true disruptors. He concludes with practical interventions: usage caps, phone-free bedrooms, and consistent cutoff times.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Clean biological living requires precision.
