🎙️ Welcome to today’s episode of The FEMCAST!
In this powerful interview, we dive into the world of gaming addiction with Elaine Uskoski, an expert who turned her personal experience into a mission to help others. When her son Jake’s university life unraveled due to severe gaming addiction, Elaine stepped in to help him recover, discovering along the way a complex connection between gaming addiction and neurodiversity.
Elaine shares the warning signs she missed, the challenges of detox and relapse, and the critical role of empathy and tailored strategies for recovery. Plus, she unpacks why neurodiverse individuals, especially those with ADHD, are more vulnerable to addiction – and how caregivers can make a difference.
Tune in as Elaine offers real-life insights and actionable strategies from her journey, all captured in her book, Cyber Sober: A Caregiver’s Guide to Video Gaming Addiction. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply curious, this episode is packed with wisdom you don’t want to miss!
