Sphera Hotline: What’s “dopamine detox” and do we need it?

Are you ever overcome by a sense of dread and guilt, when you snap out of your scrolling trance and realise 30 minutes have gone by? Phone and social media addiction can create the same sense of shame and anxiety as any other addiction. The online world offers solutions, of course.

But do you really need a digital detox coach, or is there a more holistic approach? Sphera’s Meredith Ruleman finds out.

In this new series “Sphera Hotline” we dive into the topics and questions that bother us, young Europeans. From climate change to social justice, we’re on a mission to avoid panic, examine the solutions and look into the future.
