Understanding Work Addiction

Work addiction — or “workaholism” — is one of the most socially rewarded behavioural addictions. High output is admired, but beneath the surface may lie fear of stillness, chronic anxiety, identity confusion, or unresolved trauma. The compulsion to work is not about success — it is about survival.

If you feel guilty when not working, push through exhaustion, or tie your worth to productivity, you may be experiencing work addiction. At Sea Recovery, we do not pathologise ambition — we help you explore what drives it, what it costs, and how to build a healthier way of succeeding without destroying your wellbeing.

Signs of Work Addiction vs Burnout

Work addiction is a compulsive need to keep producing, even at personal cost. Burnout is the collapse that follows years of overfunctioning. Many clients experience both: unable to stop working even when their mind and body are shutting down.

Common signs of work addiction include:

• Feeling anxious, guilty, or empty when not working
• Checking tasks or email compulsively, even when exhausted
• Neglecting relationships or health to prioritise work
• Equating self-worth only with output or achievements
• Using work to avoid emotional discomfort
• Experiencing chronic fatigue, burnout, or stress-related health issues

Work Addiction in Executives & Professionals

Our clients are often lawyers, doctors, CEOs, founders, consultants, or creatives who appear “successful” while privately spiralling. Many feel trapped between responsibility, perfectionism, and fear of slowing down. Others arrive after collapsing from exhaustion, panic, or relationship breakdowns. Sea Recovery offers a confidential space to pause, reflect, and heal away from professional and social exposure.

Why Work Becomes Addictive

Work can regulate emotion, offering structure, validation, and temporary control. For many with perfectionist tendencies or early attachment wounds, productivity becomes a coping strategy. Over time, this erodes sleep, relationships, creativity, and emotional presence. Joy is replaced with compulsion. We help you uncover these drivers, so you can build a life that is both successful and sustainable.

Therapies We Use for Work Addiction

Our therapeutic model addresses not only compulsive work behaviour but also the emotional wounds beneath it. You will work with therapists trained in trauma, nervous system regulation, and identity repair.

• CBT — challenges productivity-driven self-worth and perfectionism
• DBT — builds emotion regulation and distress tolerance
• IFS — explores inner parts that push, control, or rescue
• IPT — strengthens relationships and boundaries
• ACT — reduces avoidance and aligns work with personal values
• TRE — restores nervous system balance through somatic release
• MET — processes trauma and grief safely
• Creative therapies — journaling, art, silence, or movement

Holistic Recovery & Nervous System Healing

Work addiction often leaves clients with high cortisol, shallow sleep, digestive issues, and fatigue. Our holistic programme supports deep restoration through:

• Breathwork and mindfulness
• Yoga and body awareness
• Cold therapy and resilience training
• Massage, acupuncture, and bodywork
• Optional IV therapy and NAD+ infusions for physical repair

Life at Sea Recovery

We provide a structured yet flexible rhythm designed around your capacity. Days are calm, slow, and grounded in privacy — not clinical schedules or group rules.

A typical day may include:

• Morning grounding — walk, yoga, or reflective journaling
• Private therapy session using CBT, DBT, or IFS
• Creative or body-based integration — art, TRE, or movement
• Optional holistic therapy — massage, IV therapy, or acupuncture
• Evening reflection or coaching to integrate insights
