Very much looking forward to some nudges in this regard.
I went back and read the NYT article that references you and your books/program/insights, and it is spot on. I'm hoping for a family intervention, too... going to try to sell this to the family without eliciting automatic reactions, defensiveness, and outright hostility!
I have a few ideas about how to approach family members (which I can share during the breakup) but I would love to hear any ideas you might have based on how you counsel your patients when they're trying to intervene with family members who are struggling with other forms of addiction (or addictive-like behaviors)
This is tough! “I” statements go a long way. I know HuffPost can be a dumpster, but upon googling this I found the following article, which seems like a good start and overlaps some of what you have presented already! Ultimately change has to come from the person themselves, but helping them see the need for change is the next frontier.
Next, I would like to see you - Catherine channel your inner Nora Ephron and draft a screenplay about some guy/gal and their on again/off again affair with their phone. What a rom/com that would be.(casting tip- Tom Hanks does very well with inanimate objects)

Have you written about how to approach family members whom you think also need help? Kind of an alcoholism approach?

Looking forward to this. Good timing! I have been noticing I could use a reset as well.
