ADHD and Digital Overwhelm: Under the Hood of the Hijacked Brain (Part 2)

60 minutes
Livestream
Hosted by Johanne Schwensen, Dr. med. Kai Gutzeit

About this event

In Part 1, we talked about practical tools and lifestyle triage for ADHD and digital overwhelm.

In Part 2, we’re going under the hood to look at the machinery of why we humans are so vulnerable to being hijacked, and how to use actual neurobiology to reprogram the loop.

Willpower alone doesn't cut it. If we want real change, we have to understand the biological reality of why we get stuck. 

What we'll get into:

  • Mammal Brain vs Prefrontal Cortex: How our fast, automated lower brain centres trigger reactive impulses before our slow, conscious "human brain" can even register them.
  • The Dopamine See-Saw: How digital environments exploit our limbic system, and why immediate pleasure chemically triggers craving and pain.
  • Reprogramming the Machine: How to use actual learning theories (Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura) to build sustainable, real-world habits that bypass our digital dependencies.

Join us for some nerdy and highly applicable science on why your brain does what it does. Bring your coffee and your live chat questions.
