Social media sets expectations for us to pay attention to others that are just not realistic, and we need to help people recognize that you're going to have your select group of friends- probably, or like you would in real life- that are going to check your Facebook page or your social media page and note what's going on in your life and be really invested.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the constant stream of updates and images on social media? In this episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes digs into the less talked about side of social media—the toll it can take on mental health. While platforms like Facebook and Instagram offer quick connections and endless information, they also come with a dark side. Algorithms that control what you see can amplify feelings of isolation, depression, and even resentment.
Unrealistic expectations set by your peers only add to the pressure. But don’t worry, Dr. Snipes isn’t here just to point out the problems. She offers practical counseling tools to help you recognize how social media might be affecting your mental health and suggests ways to make positive changes. Whether you're a counselor looking to better understand your clients or someone seeking self-help strategies, this episode has something valuable for you. Dr.
Snipes also touches on how social media can be used beneficially in counseling, providing insights into how clients handle conflict and confrontation. Tune in to find out how you can navigate the tricky waters of social media and mental health.
