I'm joined today by a fellow psychotherapist with a passion for understanding technology and how we relate to and with this invention of man.
Ronen and I have riffed about this subject matter at conferences for some time, and even in a sauna at the TA conference in Birmingham in 2019, where we were supposed to be taking care of ourselves and relaxing, yet it turned into an animated conversation about the development of the human next to/with and through this (see the chats I've had about the detox properties of saunas in previous episodes)
We talk attachment, tough, relationships, gaming, and parenting and, much more, A Fabulous conversation and this must be part one...
