A 2-Hour Transformational SWEET Institute Master Seminar

Digital overload is not a time-management problem — it is a nervous system crisis.

Every notification is a micro-intrusion. Every screen is engineered to hijack attention.

Clinicians and clients alike are operating under constant neurological strain.

This seminar is your reset button. It is a transformational experience grounded in neuroscience, presence, and the SWEET Institute’s Four Layers of Transformation.

Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Time: 12-2pm (EST)

CEUs: 2

Online via Zoom

This course is eligible for 2 CEUs for Licensed Social Workers, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and Psychologists in New York State

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

•      The neurobiology of digital burnout (amygdala, dopamine, prefrontal cortex)

•      How digital overload affects emotional regulation and cognitive fatigue

•      The five pre-conscious digital patterns that mimic trauma responses

•      How digital compulsions become unconscious protective strategies

•      How to support clients (and yourself) through overwhelm and exhaustion

•      The SWEET 4-Layer Digital Burnout Intervention

THE FOUR LAYERS OF TRANSFORMATION

1. Conscious Layer:

  Identify and interrupt digital overstimulation in real time.

2. Pre-Conscious Layer:

  Map conditioned digital habits shaped by dopamine loops and avoidance.

3. Unconscious Layer:

  Reveal deeper identity wounds and protective scripts driving urgency and burnout.

4. Existential Layer:

  Reclaim presence, agency, purpose, and intentionality in a world built to distract.

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

•      A complete clinical framework for understanding and treating digital burnout

•      Rapid-reset tools for yourself and your clients

•      Scripts, prompts, and session guidance

•      Neuroscience explained clearly, powerfully, and clinically

•      Strategies to restore attention, energy, boundaries, and presence

“Digital burnout is not healed by apps or timers; it is healed by remembering who you are.” Your intentional attention becomes an act of liberation, for you, your clients, and your community.
