"I end with a greater awareness of the purpose I use my phone for, how much time I spend in front of the screen and what value does it add. I also looked at the topic from a different perspective: is it a challange for others and to what extent[...] Great workshop, thank you!"

My adventure with the phone relationship topic began with the story of a
13-year-old boy. While away from home, his smartphone discharged. Unable to continue playing, the boy suffered a panic attack.
At the time, I was seeking current social and psychological needs. I realised that the relationship of us, users, with our smartphones was an urgent topic that required attention and reflection.
From that point on, using my years of workshop experience and psychological knowledge, I started working on the workshop program. I also completed postgraduate studies in Addiction Psychology
at SWPS University in Warsaw.
The outcome of this blend of knowledge, hands-on experience, and passion can be experienced during the workshop.
