  Ever open Instagram for “just a second” between emails… and suddenly realize you’ve completely lost your train of thought? Social media is woven into our everyday lives, but when checking becomes automatic, it can start affecting more than just our screen time.... Constant scrolling and notifications can fragment our attention, make it harder to complete tasks, increase comparison and self-doubt, blur the boundaries between work and rest, and even interfere with sleep. The goal doesn’t necessarily have to be deleting the apps. It’s getting back to a place where **you choose when to use social media — instead of feeling like it’s constantly pulling for your attention.** Our latest article explores why social media can be so difficult to put down, how it may be affecting your workday, and how therapy can help uncover what’s driving the habit in the first place. https://pvdpsych.com/when-social-media-starts-affecting-your-work/ #MentalHealth #SocialMedia #WorkplaceMentalHealth ...

  Burnout doesn’t always look like burnout. Sometimes it looks like a high-performing employee becoming quieter. A manager answering emails at all hours.

In our latest blog, we explore how leaders can create healthier workplace cultures by checking in, setting realistic expectations, modeling boundaries, and recognizing when additional support may be needed.
