At Music City Family Therapy, we know that true health goes beyond just the physical. Emotional and relational well-being are just as vital—especially in today’s tech-heavy world.
As Dr. Sassy often says, “Your screens shape your scenes.”How your family interacts with technology can set the emotional tone of your home—either chaotic and disconnected, or calm, creative, and connected.
Why May is the Perfect Time for a Digital Reset With the school year winding down and summer on the horizon, May offers a natural moment to pause and refocus on what matters most: your relationships, creativity, and emotional wellness.
Why Digital Wellness Matters
When screen time isn’t managed mindfully, it tends to take over:
Conversations grow shorter—or stop altogether
Emotions like irritability, anxiety, and loneliness increase
Sleep, focus, and energy decline
But when families prioritize digital wellness, incredible changes begin to unfold:
Communication becomes deeper and more meaningful
Anxiety and tension ease
Creativity, laughter, and connection flourish
3 Simple Ways to Begin a Digital Reset This May
Create Tech-Free Zones Designate spaces like the dinner table, car rides, or bedtime routines as screen-free.
Do a Daily Connection Check-In Spend 5 minutes every day simply talking, listening, and laughing—without screens.
Choose One Night a Week for a Family Adventure Swap screen time for a board game, nature walk, or creative project together.
Remember: It doesn’t have to be perfect—just intentional.
Want to Go Deeper?
If you’re ready for a full digital wellness reset, we offer a private, three-month program called The Mountain Method.
This transformational journey is available for:
Individuals and families
Schools and churches
Companies and organizations
The Mountain Method helps you step away from screen overwhelm and build a more connected, emotionally healthy life.
Interested in bringing it to your family, school, or workplace? Reach out to us at Music City Family Therapy—we’d love to walk with you on the path to greater connection.
You can build a home—and a life—that feels more alive, more joyful, and more you.
Happy Digital Wellness Month!
