We all have these people in our flows. Those who say thank you tell them that they will log out and that they will not log in again until after the holiday. SVT’s reporter Robin Söderlund has previously tried to be one of these, but never succeeded. But this summer, he has decided that it will work. It should be possible to reduce the screen time. But, how do you do that?
SVT’s reporter contacted Professor Per Carlbring for expert help. For many years, he has had CBT as his specialty and, among other things, researched gambling addiction and dependence.
– You clearly have an uphill slope. Partly because it is about an addiction pattern, but also because these apps are made to increase the possibility that you want to integrate with them. It is almost a bit “David and Goliath” you could say, but it is absolutely not impossible, says Carlbring.
In the video above, you can see the professor’s five steps towards a screen-free summer.
