Screen Time & Self-Loss – Breaking Free from Digital Addiction

Social Media Quote: When your screen starts making choices for you, it’s time to make new ones

In today’s world, digital dependency isn’t reserved for gamers or teenagers. It affects parents, professionals, and even coaches. What begins as a harmless scroll often turns into hours lost – and a sense of control slipping away.

I regularly work with clients here in Switzerland who say things like, “I just wanted to check something quickly,” or “I didn’t even realise an hour had passed.” These aren’t excuses. They are evidence of a deeper pattern – one shaped by algorithms, not laziness.

The human brain is wired to seek pleasure, avoid discomfort, and crave novelty. Digital platforms offer all three – instantly and endlessly. It’s no wonder our internal systems struggle to resist.

In coaching, we gently uncover the reasons behind digital overuse. Often, it’s not just about entertainment or distraction – but about unmet needs, inner restlessness, or emotional avoidance. With NLP, we work to identify these triggers and develop new strategies. Through hypnosis, we install new patterns of regulation and self-connection.

The first step toward change is awareness. So next time you pick up your phone impulsively, ask: “What do I really need right now?” The answer might surprise you.

Digital addiction isn’t a personal failure. It’s a modern signal that something in you wants more presence, more peace, more meaning.

I’m here to support you in that shift – toward a life where you choose how your time is spent.
