Obsession
Playing video games, checking social media, watching You Tube, sending emails, surfing the web Video game playing, social media obsession, porn, smartphone usage…these are now acknowledged as more than just obsessions, but, in some cases, they can be debilitating addictions and clinical disorders that have ruined peoples lives.
Compulsion
A whole generation of “Failure to Launch” Millennials have seen their schooling, job prospects and/or interpersonal relationships suffer–or even destroyed–as a result of their screen or technology addiction. So many young people are struggling with this issue, yet there are so few therapy options. While countries like South Korea have over 400 Tech Addictions rehabs, here in the United States there are extremely limited options for meaningful healing from Tech Addiction.
