Problematic Digital Use Program (PDU) is a current phenomena affecting everyone from 2 years of age to old age. The digital dynamic is here to stay but due to culture lag as a society we do not yet have the ability to manage its provocative pull. Unfortunately many people, parents especially, are using the word addiction to describe overuse, which either gives the person a free pass to continue to use because they have resigned to have any control over it, or pathologizes the person to feel they can do nothing about it. The PDU program looks at overuse and over reliance as problematic because it is leading to dependency that can be resolved prior to a point of addiction. The program looks at the thought distortions that commonly make the digital dynamic so provocative and difficult to manage. Once this is understood, one uses the psychotherapy to make room for the strong pulls that make one want to attach to its comfort and avoid offline discomfort. The PDU program and the Breaking the Procrastination Cycle program (BPC) often go hand in hand.

Breaking the Procrastination Cycle Program (BPC)is a therapeutic tool that looks at the underlying factors contributing to this form of self-regulation difficulty. By examining the procrastination cycle, clients self-check in order to debunk the mistaken thoughts associated with this pattern of behaviour. By making room for uncomfortable feelings and thoughts, a space is created to facilitate getting things done.
