The Silent Relationship Killer: Our Phones
By Dr. Rachel Floran, PhD, LPC-S

(Before you read my article, know I am, and have also been guilty of this. I am also work in progress). Enjoy:

As a combat and relationship therapist, I see daily how phones are quietly damaging our connections. Couples tell me they feel distant, parents feel frustrated, and families sit together while living in separate digital worlds.

We get onto our kids for being distracted by screens—but if we’re honest, we’re doing the same thing. Phones create the illusion of connection while stealing the moments that truly build it.

Bedtime used to be for winding down together—now it’s scrolling side by side. The dinner table used to be for laughter and stories—now it’s notifications and half-listening. Over time, that disconnection turns into loneliness.

You don’t have to give up your phone—you just have to reclaim your presence. Try small steps:
❤️ Make dinner a no-phone zone
🕯 Put phones away 30 minutes before bed
đź‘€ When someone talks, look up and listen

Real connection doesn’t happen through a screen. It happens when we show up fully—with our eyes, our hearts, and our attention.

Let’s model the kind of presence we want our kids—and our partners—to feel.

If you or someone you know is struggling with this, or anything else, please feel free to contact my clinic at lakerayhubbardcounseling@gmail.com
or 972-693-4293.

đź’Ś Please share this post with someone you feel could benefit from it.
