Starting Workaholism therapy

What is workaholism therapy?

Workaholism therapy helps those who have an unhealthy relationship with work. A person suffering from workaholism has an obsessive focus on their career, an inability to focus or even carry on a conversation about any other topic, and a willingness to sacrifice any other relationships or hobbies — Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville, TN will help them improve their habits and cope with the challenges that stem from their workaholism.

How does workaholism therapy work?

Workaholism therapy works by helping workaholics see how their addiction hurts themselves as well as their loved ones. Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville, TN can help create a new reality and lasting change. We can help workaholics understand how their long hours, lack of attention to loved ones, and obsessive need to achieve are detrimental to their overall happiness and health.

Is workaholism therapy conducted in person or online?

Workaholism therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does workaholism therapy last?

The length of workaholism therapy depends on the individual’s needs as well as the extent and severity of their workaholism and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in the first weeks to months of therapy.

Workaholism Therapy – Counselors, Coaches and Therapists in Knoxville

The American dream involves a lot of hard work and determination. In this country, we very highly value dedication to career and financial security. We are taught from a young age to do our best, get good grades, apply ourselves, and achieve our dreams. However, sometimes this dedication to career can become obsessive. It can take over the rest of our life and ruin relationships. It can cause families to be destroyed, marriages to end, and children to be emotionally neglected.

If you are suffering from workaholism, Thriveworks Knoxville can help you end this cycle. It is possible to create a new normal, salvage your relationships, and develop pursuits outside of work. Reach out today to schedule your appointment.

Signs of Workaholism and How Therapy Can Help

If you are the loved one of a workaholic, you may have spent many years suffering in silence. You eat dinner alone most nights, and when your spouse or partner is home, they barely look up from their phone or computer. Although your workaholic partner may receive a great deal of accolades at work, they are a far from attentive spouse.

Thriveworks Knoxville counselors can help not only the workaholic, but the relationship as well. We can help the workaholic understand how harmful their behavior is to not only themselves, but to their loved ones as well.

I saw Justin for assistance with OCD. He showed me how to look at things in a way that did not allow my OCD to take over. I will would highly recommend him.

I have been taking my 7 year old grandson to see Justin. He had horrible anxiety. It saddened us to see how bad it was. He had developed tics. Justin was absolutely wonderful with him. He has overcome most of his fears and tics have went away. I would highly recommend Justin.

Going to Thriveworks for the past year and a half has been the most rewarding counseling experience I’ve had. Seeing Lindsey has had the single biggest impact on my emotional and mental health, especially in healing from past childhood abuse and trauma, and ongoing PTSD. Out of multiple counselors in two states, Lindsey Chandler is by far the one with whom I’ve felt the most accepted, supported, and encouraged by. I am grateful for the Thriveworks space, as it is not at all clinical nor intimidating, but entirely warn and welcoming. It is nearly a scent-free environment, which is vital for the comfort of any highly sensitive persons. I choose to drive an hour from home each visit specifically to stay loyal to a place where I finally feel safe and valued—where in the past commuting five minutes from home to work with a therapist felt like a chore and an ordeal—and I will continue to do so as I work further toward a healthier me.

Dr Neal has helped me more in the last 2 months than any other therapist in the last 5 years. Therapy has become a joy instead of a chore. :)

My son saw “Mrs. Amanda” as he affectionately called her shortly after my marriage ended in a high conflict divorce. My son was 6 years old at the time, so it was difficult for him to process his feelings without knowing how to communicate with us. Amanda Gilliam was always there to listen and provide outlets for him to speak openly about his feelings in a way that could be understood. She is top knotch in my book and I would highly recommend her as a professional!

I was in sessions with Justin for about a year and highly recommend him. He has a deep grasp of psychology that he is constantly refreshing and renewing, and he was able to help me a lot in understanding what was driving the emotions and feelings of myself and close family members. He was a great help.
