The Social Media Paradox: The Illusion of Connection vs. The Reality of Judgment

Adaptable | Behavior Explained

Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! This episode goes over the impact of excessive smartphone and social media use on mental health and relationships. Kelly emphasizes mindfulness in behavior and highlights negative consequences of excessive social media use, such as disconnection, compromised safety, and mental health challenges.

I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing!

I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all.
