Understanding Work Addiction

Work addiction—or “workaholism”—is one of the most socially accepted behavioural addictions. It’s often praised, rewarded, and admired. But behind the productivity and ambition can lie deep emotional distress: a fear of stillness, identity confusion, chronic anxiety, or unresolved trauma. The compulsion to work isn't about success—it’s about survival.

If your mind can’t rest, if you're constantly driven by deadlines or unable to switch off without guilt, you may be dealing with work addiction. At Sea Recovery, we don’t pathologise ambition—we help you understand what it’s costing you emotionally, physically, and relationally. We help you rebuild a version of success that doesn’t drain your nervous system or disconnect you from yourself.

Who We Support

We work with professionals, founders, creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs who are outwardly successful—but inwardly exhausted. Many of our clients can’t stop working, thinking, or planning—even when their body is shutting down or their relationships are suffering.

Common signs of work addiction include:

• Feeling anxious, empty, or guilty when not working
• Difficulty sleeping, resting, or being present without checking email or tasks
• Neglecting relationships, self-care, or emotions to prioritise work
• Using productivity as a way to avoid emotional discomfort
• Feeling you are only as good as your output
• Experiencing chronic fatigue, burnout, or health issues

Why Work Becomes Addictive

Work addiction is often a form of emotional regulation. Productivity can offer a sense of control, self-worth, or identity—especially for those with early attachment wounds, trauma, or perfectionist tendencies. It can provide structure, external validation, or a way to avoid inner chaos.

But over time, compulsive work erodes your nervous system, relationships, sleep, and emotional depth. It flattens joy, intimacy, and creative flow. At Sea Recovery, we help you uncover the emotional reasons you’ve used work to survive—and how to build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with success, rest, and your own value.

Therapy for Work Addiction & Burnout

Our therapeutic model addresses not just the behaviour of overworking—but the emotional patterns beneath it. You’ll work privately with a therapist trained in trauma, nervous system regulation, and identity repair. Whether you're running from something or chasing something that keeps moving, we help you slow down and see it clearly.

Our therapy modalities include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• TRE Therapy
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
• Relapse Planning
• Creative modalities—journaling, movement, silence, or rest

Holistic Recovery & Nervous System Healing

Work addiction doesn’t just exhaust the mind—it destabilises the nervous system. Many of our clients arrive in a state of high cortisol, shallow sleep, fatigue, and emotional disconnection. Our holistic programme helps restore your body’s ability to regulate, rest, and heal—so you don’t need to keep pushing to feel “enough.”

A Typical Day at Sea Recovery

At Sea Recovery, there are no alarms, team meetings, or task lists. Each day is designed around your emotional bandwidth. We provide space, stillness, and slow reconnection—so you can begin to feel again, rebuild trust in rest, and come home to your body.

Each day may include:

• Morning grounding—walk, journaling, yoga, or silence
• One-to-one therapy session focused on identity, emotion, and addiction patterns
• Rest time or creative expression
• Optional holistic therapy—massage, IV therapy, breathwork
• Evening coaching or emotional processing

Why Choose Spain for Work Addiction Recovery?

Many professionals begin by searching for a rehab near me, only to realise that what they need is space—physical, emotional, and psychological. Travelling to Spain offers the quiet, distance, and reflection needed to break out of deeply ingrained patterns.

Aftercare & Long-Term Recovery

We help you return to work with boundaries, emotional clarity, and nervous system balance. Our aftercare programme includes remote therapy, coaching, and personalised relapse prevention strategies to help you honour your recovery—without abandoning your ambition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is work addiction really an addiction?

Yes. Like other behavioural addictions, it creates compulsive patterns and dopamine cycles—often driven by emotional avoidance or fear of stillness. It can be just as damaging as substance addiction.

2. Do I need to stop working forever?

No. We support you in developing a new relationship with work—one that is emotionally healthy, balanced, and sustainable. This isn’t about quitting—it’s about realigning.

3. Can I continue light work during my stay?

Yes, within boundaries. We’ll support you in balancing any essential responsibilities with deep emotional recovery and rest.

4. Will I lose my edge if I slow down?

No. Many clients discover that when they regulate their nervous system and address emotional burnout, their creativity, clarity, and leadership capacity actually improve.

5. Is this only for executives?

No. We support anyone who feels trapped in their productivity—founders, creatives, students, caregivers, or consultants. If your self-worth is tied to your output, we can help.

6. How long should I stay?

Most clients stay between 2–6 weeks. Longer stays are available for deep trauma or identity work. We customise the experience to your real-life needs.

7. What if I relapse into old habits?

Relapse is often part of the process. Our aftercare helps you respond with compassion, not shame. We’ll guide you through it and help you recalibrate.

8. Is Sea Recovery LGBTQ+ affirming?

Yes. We offer emotionally safe, inclusive care for all identities and backgrounds. We honour who you are at every stage of recovery.

9. Can you support ADHD or perfectionism?

Absolutely. Many clients with work addiction also experience ADHD or perfectionistic tendencies. We adapt our care to support those patterns gently and effectively.

10. How do I start?

Simply reach out. We’ll schedule a relaxed call to understand your needs and talk through whether Sea Recovery is right for you—no pressure, just clarity.
