In this conversation, we sit down with Sarah Mullis, an Adlerian counselor based in Wales, to explore why community feeling/social interest (Gemeinschaftsgefühl) is essential in the digital age. We discuss why social media’s basic architecture is fundamentally incapable of creating real belonging or mutual respect on its own — and what it actually takes to bring Social Interest into online spaces.

Sarah shares Adlerian insights on connection, courage, discouragement, and how we can show up differently to foster healthier digital communities. Whether you're a mental health professional, a creator, or simply someone navigating social media, this interview offers a grounded, hopeful perspective on how Adlerian psychology can reshape the way we relate online.
