ADHD, Digital Overwhelm, and Where One Ends and the Other Begins

A conversation with Dr. med. Kai Gutzeit

More and more adults are walking into therapy wondering if they have ADHD. At the same time, our attention is being carved up by devices designed to keep us scrolling. The symptom pictures overlap — distractibility, emotional dysregulation, trouble with follow-through — and most people can't easily say where one ends and the other begins.

Dr. med. Kai Gutzeit works in the thick of this. He brings especially two practices together: emotional self-regulation — the practical skill of catching emotions that create blockage, like anxiety or shame, and turning them into useful ones like courage or healthy regret — and mind-functional fitness, his term for what meditation offers when you set spirituality aside: training for your mind the way physical exercise trains your body.

This is a live-streamed conversation, so bring your questions and your own experience into the chat.

Come if:

You've wondered whether your phone made your attention worse, or the other way around

You're curious what mind-functional fitness actually looks like in practice — and how it differs from emotional self-regulation

You're a practitioner seeing this overlap show up in your own clients, and want a way to talk about it
