## Resource

Many of us feel a responsibility to stay informed and bear witness to what’s happening in the world. But what is that level of exposure actually doing to your nervous system? In this episode, Sarah explores how the rapid rise of technology, social media, and AI has outpaced our biological capacity to process information, leaving many of us overwhelmed and dysregulated. She explains why consuming large volumes of distressing content can lead to shutdown, and why more information is not the answer.
