Abstract
The digital age is shaping our lives and relationships in striking new ways. We believe most people are not getting any form of coaching or teaching on how to manage their, or their children’s, use of digital technology to become good stewards of their virtual lives. Nor are counselors being trained to deal with the many severe consequences to our digital over-use. We are now experiencing an epidemic of digital addictions, including gaming, gambling, pornography and cybersex. This Webinar will help you assess your relationship with technology and reclaim what it has stolen from your real life. It will offer practical help to parents, counselors, educators, and pastors on how to manage the digital world responsibly.
Participants will:
- Explore how our brains are being rewired by digital technology through what neuroscience research is exposing
- Identify the effects of social media on our intimacy, empathy systems, and marriages and understand why we expect more from technology and less from each other
- Study key ways to establish digital boundaries in order to help clients successfully manage stress and thrive

Abstract
Shame, regret, and self-condemnation plague many Christian clients.

This Webinar will also illustrate self-forgiveness through discussing personal examples and struggles. Participants will explore why self-forgiveness is difficult and learn strategies for promoting self-acceptance. Dr. Worthington will also discuss health and mental health benefits to forgiveness.
Participants will:
- Describe at least three reasons why self-forgiveness is difficult
- Explore six steps to forgiving oneself and describe health and mental health benefits of successful self-forgiveness
- 3. Formulate a practical approach to helping clients plagued with self-condemnation experience self-forgiveness
