In this eye-opening episode of 'Recover Yourself', Tracy Markle and Dr. Brett Kennedy dive into the sneaky world of persuasive design and its grip on our children's digital habits.

This episode isn't just about pointing out problems; it's packed with practical advice for parents and anyone struggling with digital overuse. Tracy and Brett, leaders in digital media treatment at dTEC, discuss best practices and the urgent need for a standard approach in treating digital media overuse.
