Summary

Renowned by law enforcement and clinical mental health experts nationwide, Delete Me: D.S.M. 7 Steps to Social Media Abstinence was formerly only available through the Drug Fr33 Org. 

There are currently no specialized treatments for social media addiction and anxiety type conditions attributed to social media usage. Whereas most "remedies" for social media abuse call for "vacations", "breaks", and "parental surveillance" from the applications, Delete Me refutes these methods as ineffective. Fortune 500 IT consultant and engineer-turned-clinical-mental-health-researcher-and-crisis-intervention-counselor J.A. Thomas insists that we’re far better off abstaining from the applications altogether. J.A. Thomas, MSW, who is one of a growing army of industry experts going offline, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to abandon these treacherous online platforms.

The book’s rationale for freeing ourselves from social media’s toxic grip include the applications’ programmatic abilities to rewire our brains and likens the platforms to addictive substances. In it, the listener witnesses the dangers of social media usage from a law enforcement and clinical mental health perspective. The methodology introduced within the book offers a comprehensive step-by-step program to getting (and staying) offline through.

J.A. Thomas left a career in Big Tech in pursuit of investigating online crime with law enforcement. Now a critical crisis intervention counselor, Thomas hopes to foster transparent public health information surrounding the dangers of social media usage and its links to severe mental health conditions and the illicit online sex and drug trades. The methodologies introduced in Delete Me insists on total abstinence from all social media applications as key to driving us toward richer and more meaningful ways of living by connecting us back to the world beyond the tiny blue screen. Start telling your friends, "I'm offline."
