Why We Doomscroll and How to Break the Cycle
Doomscrolling has become a familiar part of modern life, especially during times of uncertainty, stress or overwhelm. In this episode, I explore what doomscrolling actually is, why so many of us find ourselves stuck in it, and what’s happening in our brains when we can’t stop scrolling through bad news.
I talk about the role of our nervous system, how fear and threat keep us hooked, and why doomscrolling can feel compulsive even when it leaves us feeling worse. This isn’t about blaming ourselves or relying on willpower, but about understanding the psychology behind the behaviour and responding with curiosity rather than judgement.
I also share practical ways to interrupt the cycle, reduce its impact on your mental health, and build more awareness around how and when you consume news and social media. Small, intentional changes can make a real difference to how safe, grounded and present we feel.
This episode offers a compassionate look at doomscrolling, why it makes sense in the context of how our brains work, and how we can begin to regain a sense of choice and balance.
