Can taking a break from social media genuinely improve your mental health? Join us on this compelling episode of the Q&A Files as we promise to uncover the real impact of social media breaks on well-being. Hosts Trisha Jamison, Dr. Jeff, and Tony Overbay dive deep into the science and personal experiences behind this hot topic, shedding light on concepts like dopamine detox and its potential to alleviate anxiety. Discover why 72% of teens report feeling more peaceful without their smartphones, according to Pugh Research Center data, and hear firsthand accounts of teenagers thriving without constant digital engagement.

But that’s not all—we also explore fascinating findings from a Gallup poll that show how even a short, three-day social media break can significantly reduce body shame and increase self-compassion in girls aged 10 to 19. Tony shares compelling stories about how parents and kids navigate these breaks, showcasing real-life transformations and challenges. Whether you're a parent considering a digital detox for your children or just curious about the benefits of stepping away from your screen, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that you won’t want to miss.
