Beat the Feed: Digital Wellbeing and Mental Health

Why we can't stop scrolling — and how to break free. Why is it so hard to stop checking our feeds?

In this video, Founding CEO of London Trusted Therapy Harley Street, Dr Olena Edwards-Skadowska, dives into the psychological tricks behind social media platforms — how they’re designed to keep us hooked, and what that does to our brains, emotions, and sense of self.

She explores the dopamine loop, fear of missing out (FOMO), comparison traps, and how algorithms exploit our attention — and most importantly, how to take back control.

You'll learn:

  • The psychology of endless scrolling
  • What makes social media addictive
  • How likes, notifications, and content loops affect your brain
  • Practical steps to build healthier digital habits
  • Why boundaries with your feed = freedom for your mind
