How To Start Reclaiming Your Mind From Digital Distractions

How often do you go out without taking your phone? And if you’re out somewhere and then you realise you’ve left your phone behind, or if you lose your phone, what sort of emotions are triggered? Think about it.

In many ways, modern technology has become a kind of trap. Because we can’t function without it. Take away our technology, and we’re left with our own thoughts - which to many people is an extremely disturbing, even terrifying prospect.

Are we losing part of ourselves through our reliance on technology? And if so, how can we reclaim and recharge those mental freedoms and functions?

About the Podcast

The Inner Kindness Therapy Podcast
In this podcast, I discuss some of my own personal psychological experiences, as well as more philosophical thoughts about the mind in general.
Our culture places huge value on the intellect, while the emotions and the body are often seen as elements to be controlled. In this podcast I explore how we can work on all of these elements, to improve energy levels, mental freedom and self-empowerment.

Profile picture for Natalie Minnis

Natalie Minnis

I’m a therapist trained in Hypno-CBT which is a combination of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. I also use other approaches, especially ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
Psychotherapy can be a bit of an alphabet soup – there are so many different modalities. This can be very confusing for anyone who wants to find a therapist or learn more about it. The main thing that fascinates me is how the mind works, and I’ve found that all of these approaches take me a bit closer to that understanding.

My biggest client is myself. I’ve had many sessions with different types of therapists over the years, and I’ve also done a lot of self-help, diving into the deep inner realms of my own mind. I’d like to share some of the learnings with you.
