When we are on a device, on a date or even at home, and our attention is on that device, whether we want to or not, we're sending a message of rejection.
Picture this: You're at a lovely dinner, but your partner's eyes are glued to their phone. Sound familiar? In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley tackles the modern-day dilemma of technology's impact on our relationships. Dr. Riley, often dubbed 'The Best Damn Therapist', shares his wisdom on how to balance device usage and meaningful connections.
He points out that using a phone during a date or conversation can send a subtle message of rejection, making the person in front of you feel less important than your screen. To counter this, he offers three simple texting strategies: affirmations, appreciation, and anticipation. These tips aren't just about avoiding arguments; they're about fostering deeper connections and understanding. Additionally, Dr. Riley talks about relationship retreats designed to help couples focus on and improve their bond.
Whether you're looking to strengthen your current relationship or simply want to be more mindful about your device usage, this episode is packed with practical advice. Tune in and learn how to prioritize the people who matter most, even in our tech-saturated world.
