I've recently come across an article about how people have used hypnotherapy to cure social networking addictions. 22 year old Natalie, from Australia explains how she had to see a hypnotherapist due to her over use of Facebook to stalk her ex-boyfriend.
Natalie admits that she would spend up to eight hours a day on Facebook looking through his photos; and searching his female friends who he talked to: "I'd stalk her page to find out everything I could about her."
Natalie found herself getting out of touch from the real world; she would stop talking to her family and friends, and miss work. Eventually she visited a hypnotherapist who helped her stop her obsession and get her life back.
Did you know: Facebook has more than 500 million users, 50% of all users log onto the social networking site per day. Also an average user spends roughly 700 minutes (11 hours and 40 minutes.) on Facebook per month!
Just something for you to think about :)
