Thomas is joined by Co-Founder of the Center for Humane Technology, Randima Fernando. They discuss how technology hijacks our dopamine response and reinforces trauma symptoms. Randima explains the downstream consequences of the “attention economy,” including social media’s addictiveness and its negative impacts on our psychology. He and Thomas explore how better technology education, along with mindfulness practices, can offset these negative effects and help us bring our dopamine systems back into balance. Randima emphasizes how important it is, for both children and adults, to understand our own moral motivations so that we can become less susceptible to manipulation from technology and media. This episode is part one of a four-part series on Technology, Innovation, and Consciousness. ✨  Join Thomas for a free, live online event with Q&A - The Evolving Map for Trauma Healing 👉 https://www.navigatingthelevelsoftrauma.com/event Explore new ways to support both yourself and your clients in managing the stress and anxiety of collective change.
