This week on The Anxious Truth, we're talking about social media and the dreaded doom scroll,

how you can be more intentional with your social media use to avoid the pitfalls and the traps.

So let's get at it.

Hello everybody, welcome back to The Anxious Truth. This is podcast episode number 267,

recorded in July of 2023. I am Drew Linsellata, creator and host of this fine podcast,

or at least what I hope is a fine podcast. The Anxious Truth is the podcast that covers all

things anxiety, anxiety disorders, and anxiety recovery. So if you are struggling with things like

panic attacks or agoraphobia, this is the place for you. And if you're new to the YouTube channel

or new to the podcast, you just start to accidentally stumbled in. Welcome. I hope you find

it all useful and applicable in some way. Of course, if you're a returning viewer or a listener,

welcome back. I'm always glad that you're here. Today we're going to talk about social media and

the dreaded scroll of doom. And we'll talk about what the doom scroll is. It's kind of a funny

thing that everybody's decided to call it. We'll get into that in a little bit. We're going to

talk about how to be a bit more intentional with your social media use so you can get the most

set of social media in your anxiety recovery without falling into some of the traps that are

really common in this community. Before we get into that, it's just a quick reminder, as always,

that the anxious truth is more than just this video or this podcast episode on my website at

TheAnxiousTruth.com. You will find a bunch of other resources, including books that I've written

and workshops and courses that I've created 266 previous podcast episodes, all of which are free,

a bunch of free social media content, a bunch of stuff that I think is useful in recovery.

It's useful psychoeducational material. It's inspirational. It's encouraging.

Hopefully it points you in the right direction. Head on over to the anxious truth and take
