If you've spent time on TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, or other social media platforms recently, you've probably seen people talking about something called a dopamine menu. Many clients have brought it up in therapy over the past several months, often asking the same question: "I saw this online...does it actually work?"

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why do I keep feeling this way?" Maybe you notice the same anxiety showing up before important conversations.
