Therapy Through Sharing Reset

An evening with Ester Geislerová and family therapist Honza Vojtek about digital balance — how technology and social media affect everyday life and relationships, and how to manage them consciously.

The lecture does not focus on warnings about the harm of phones, but on concrete mechanisms: how the dopamine trap works, what the digital world does to our ability to be in contact with ourselves and others, and where the positives lie. The evening includes an open discussion.

What will be covered:
- How things really stand — data from practice and research
- How the dopamine trap works and why we fall into it so easily
- What the digital world does to our ability to be in contact — with ourselves and with others
- Where the positives are and how to live with technology, not serve it
- Open discussion

About the Therapy Through Sharing project:
The project began in 2018 when Ester Geislerová started sharing on Instagram the phrases people use to break up. The hashtag #terapiesdilenim became a phenomenon — the profile is now followed by 315,000 people on Instagram and over 25,000 on Facebook, with messages coming from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The project exists in the form of books, an audio series, a web series, and an audiobook. The collected data also serves as a basis for research into risky online behaviour — cyberbullying, sexting, cyber grooming, and personal data protection.

In 2019, Geislerová and Vojtek launched interactive lectures "Therapy Through Sharing LIVE" and "Therapy Through Sharing RESET", which have been attended by tens of thousands of viewers across the country. The Instagram project won the Czech Social Awards for the most inspiring Instagram of 2020, the podcast was nominated for Audiobook of the Year 2020, and the web series "Therapy Through Sharing: About Text Messages and People" for Mall.TV won the award for best web series at the international festival Seriall Killer.
