Information Overload with Karen Mitchell

Tuesday, January 12 • 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Technology has made it easier than ever to monitor our health, but it can also make wellness feel like another thing to perfect. Explore the "wellbeing paradox" and learn how to cultivate a healthier, more balanced relationship with the tools designed to help us thrive.

This program is led by Karen Mitchell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who owns KCM Therapy, a private practice in Watchung.  Karen sees teens through adults and focuses on how emotions affect the physical body.  Using a biology and neuroscience lens, Karen helps empower each person to live their best authentic life.

Information Over-load - We’re living through a modern wellbeing paradox: never before has health been so measurable— and never before has had it felt so psychologically demanding. Sleep is scored, glucose is graphed, aging is tracked, and wellbeing has shifted from something we feel to something we perform correctly. Therapists warn that data-driven wellness can tip from motivation into fixation, turning insight into pressure.
